On July 4,1919 on a blazing hot day in Toledo, Ohio Jack Dempsey ushered in a new era in boxing with his devastating victory over Jess Willard, then Heavyweight Champion. As America was at the dawn of the exciting "roaring 20's" it had a new and exciting champion to go with it, Jack Dempsey. Offered here is an original, full advertising ticket made up for this fight. This advertising ticket names the fighters. It has bold color and print. The ticket does have soiling and heavy creasing. Overall we would have to say the ticket is only in Good condition. Despite the condition this remains exceptionally rare and is vintage to this historic event.
