JACK DEMPSEY
The boxing champ's handwritten note mounted on a backing board
Autograph Note signed: "To my pal Ed/lots of luck Ed/Jack Dempsey", 4¼x2¼, mounted on
firm backing board. Billed as the "Manassa Mauler" and the "toughest man ever to come
out of the West," the 6-foot, 190-pound Jack Dempsey (1895-1983) 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. Creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
