On April 17, 1939, World Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis defended his title against Jack Roper at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles. Up against the veteran challenger, Louis was expected to win easily and do the job quickly. That was something he achieved inside 140 seconds, stopping Roper in the very first round. Offered here are two different full, unused tickets for this event. The first pictures both fighters. It has some staining and back damage, but no creases. The second, the rarer of the two, does not picture the fighters. It exhibits some surface wear, but no creasing. Both are rare Joe Louis World Championship full tickets.
