Description
1938 Jack Dempsey Edward J. Neil Boxing Writers' Award. The Edward J. Neil Memorial Award began in 1938 and has become one of the most important and coveted awards presented annually by the Boxing Writers' Association for outstanding service to boxing. This award is listed in the bible of boxing, "Ring Record Book," that was issued annually by "The Ring" until 1987. Recipients have included Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Henry Armstrong, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman and Mike Tyson. The very first award, which was presented in 1938, was given to Jack Dempsey. Dempsey, although long retired at that point, was recognized for all he had done for the sport of boxing. This magnificent award is metal on wood and measures 9.5x14.75" and is in fine condition. The award reads, "The Edward J. Neil Memorial For Outstanding Service To Boxing In 1938 Presented By Boxing Writers' Association Of New York To Jack Dempsey." This is arguably the most prestigious award a fighter can receive aside from the Ring Magazine Championship Belt. This was the very first Neil Award given and it was given to one of the greatest fighters to ever lace the gloves, Jack Dempsey. Don't miss this rare opportunity to acquire a truly historic piece of boxing memorabilia. LOA from Craig Hamilton/ JO Sports. LOA from Craig Hamilton/ JO Sports.Auction Info
