Book Photograph signed: "Good Luck/Jack Dempsey/1972". B/w, 4x6¾.
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. Fine condition.
