Illustration by James Montgomery Flagg of the Dempsey-Willard Fight on July 4,
1919. Billed as the "Manassa Mauler" and the "toughest man ever to come out
of the West," the 6-foot, 190-pound Dempsey met the 6-foot-6, 250-pound
heavyweight champion Jess Willard on July 4, 1919, at Toledo, OH. Dempsey won on
a 3rd-round knockout. During the next seven years, Dempsey defended his title
only six times but made a lot of money in the process. His fight against
Frenchman Georges Carpentier on July 2, 1921 produced boxing's first $1 million
gate. He lost his title to Gene Tunney on September 23, 1926 in a ten-round
decision after which he retired.
Named the greatest fighter of the half-century in a 1950
Associated Press poll, he won 60 professional fights, 49 by knockout; lost 7, 1
by knockout; and fought 7 draws, 5 no-decisions, and 1 no-contest. Slightly
worn and stained at corners. Fine condition.
