MAX SCHMELING
Black and white photograph of Max Schmeling in a boxing pose.
Photograph signed: "Max Schmeling". B/w, 8x10 overall, image 5x9½ (one
surface). Max Schmeling (1905-2005) became World Heavyweight Champion in
1930, when he defeated Jack Sharkey for the title vacated by Gene Tunney in
1928. In 1932, Sharkey won the title in a 15-round decision over Schmeling.
At Yankee Stadium in 1936, Schmeling scored a twelfth round knockout
of the previously undefeated Joe Louis. In a closely followed rematch at Yankee
Stadium in 1938, Louis knocked out Schmeling in the first round. Despite
Nazi efforts to promote him as a symbol of Aryan supremacy, Schmeling refused
Hitler's personal request to join the Nazi party and secretly protected German
Jews at great risk to himself. A Coca Cola executive after World War II,
Schmeling became a close friend of Joe Louis and served as a pallbearer at
Louis' funeral (1981). Fine condition.
