Joe Louis and Billy Conn are two names linked in boxing history. In their first fight in 1941 Conn had Louis beat, but tried to exchange with him late in the fight and was stopped. The second fight, after the war, was easier for Louis as he dominated the fight before stopping Conn. Presented here is a group of four tickets relating to these two ring greats. Included are two full, unused tickets from their second fight on June 19, 1946 (both are EX), a full ticket to their postponed fight of October 12, 1942 (EX), and a full exchange ticket for their first fight on June 18, 1941 (EX+). A fine grouping for two Hall Of Fame fighters.
