In December 1904, H.H. Egeberg claimed of the World Greco-Roman wrestling championship, and his recent win over John Piening only served to strengthen his credentials. It was said that he was not going to be the real, undisputed champion until he beat Charles Leonhardt. Egeberg stood 6'1" and weighed around 200 pounds. According to the Newark Advocate (Newark, OH) on December 27, 1904, "Egeberg says that it was necessary to defeat fifteen men in twelve hours to win the championship of Denmark."
