JACK DEMPSEY and DEANNA DEMPSEY
Jack Dempsey signs a Holiday card from Hallmark.
Season's Greetings Card by Hallmark signed: "Deanna" to which
her husband has added: "& Jack Dempsey". Color, closed to 8x4.
Printed greeting inside: "With best wishes for the holidays/and the year
ahead". 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.
