Offered here is a scarce official program for the World Heavyweight Championship fight between Joe Louis and Jimmy Braddock at Comiskey Park in Chicago on June 22, 1937. Louis survived a first round knockdown and went on to win the title stopping Braddock for good in the 8th round. The program is 24 pages complete. It has not been scored or written on. It has a tight binding. There are small creases in the upper and lower right corners. There is minor soiling on the front and back covers. Seldom seen program from the day Joe Louis won the heavyweight title.
