JACK DEMPSEY
The fighter signs his name and adds a sentiment on this index card
Autograph Sentiment Signed: "Best Wishes/ Jack Dempsey" 5x3 index card with a b/w, 1x1¼ newspaper photograph affixed to the left of the autograph sentiment. 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, in Toledo, Ohio. 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 first half of the 20th 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. Ink note in an unknown hand on verso (no show-through). Lightly worn and soiled at blank corners. Otherwise, fine condition.
