On June 19, 1936, Joe Louis and Max Schmeling fought in the main event at Yankee Stadium. Louis was undefeated and a rising star in the division. This fight was seen as another stepping stone to a title shot for Louis. In a stunning upset, Schmeling would KO Louis in the 12th round. Presented here are two full tickets from this event. These tickets include a proof ticket stamped "Specimen" which is illustrated with chipping and five hole punches, and a full, unused ticket which is illustrated in VG condition with a small closed tear and mild fading. These tickets are far rarer than the second fight between these two.
