Photograph Signed: "Sincerely Yours/Joe". Sepia, 6x10 overall, 5x7 ½ image, one surface,
printed on cardstock. Photo by Dobson Studios of Liverpool, England, United Kingdom,

Beckett (1892-1965) was a British heavyweight boxer who won the Commonwealth
heavyweight belt "Bombadier" Billy Wells on Feb. 27, 1919. However, the National
Sporting Club didn't recognize Beckett, so he was stripped of the belt and the title was
declared vacant. He wouldn't be denied, though. He just came back four months later, on
June 17, 1919 and beat Frank Goddard for the title. Beckett defended his belt twice before
relinquishing it in 1923, when he retired. In all, Beckett had a professional record of 61
wins, 11 losses and one draw between 1912 and 1923. Lightly toned, soiled, silvered, creased
and bowed. Pen skipped while signing. Signature is beaded in places, but legible. Light
scratches (not visible head-on), scuff marks, and impressions on image. Light dents and
chipping at top edge. Rounded and worn corners. Paper loss on verso (no show-through).
Otherwise, fine condition.
