 An original 1882 J. Wood Tug Wilson oversized boxing cabinet card. Real name Joe Collins, he started his career in the bareknuckle era and went on to fight with gloves in the transitional one. He was hated by John L. Sullivan due to his antics in the ring when the two met in July 1882. The card measures 22x18". It is in GD condition with a portion of the upper left corner missing, a few creases and toning. A rare image of an early boxing great.
