Description
1892 John L. Sullivan vs. James Corbett Full Ticket PSA EX 5. On September 7, 1892 at the Olympic Club in New Orleans, World Heavyweight Champion John L. Sullivan attempted his final title defense against "Gentleman" Jim Corbett. It was the first Heavyweight Championship to be fought with gloves, thus closing the door on the bare-knuckle era. The youthful Corbett was a skillful boxer and entered the ring in top condition. Sullivan, on the other hand, hadn't fought in three years and drank profusely. Corbett danced and dodged the bull rushes of the older Sullivan and eventually wore down the slower, out of shape champ en route to a twenty-first round knockout. Presented here is a rare full ticket to this historic event. This is the larger version of the two tickets issued to the fight. This ticket has some light foxing but is overall in fine condition with a clean front and back and nice corners. The ticket measures 3.25" x 4.25". Encapsulated by PSA for protection and unquestioned authenticity.Auction Info
