A full, unused ticket for the June 9, 1899 heavyweight championship fight between Robert Fitzsimmons and Jim Jeffries at Coney Island in Brooklyn. Jeffries stopped Fitz in round 11 to win the title. The ticket has rounded corners, a fold at top right and some back damage. 2.5x6.5". Exceedingly rare. Also included is "The Ring" featuring Jeffries and Fitzsimmons on the cover.
