Rare ticket is full and unused from the "Florida Athletic Club…Dallas - Texas." Dated "October 31, 1895," this pits the great gentleman James J. Corbett versus the devastating blacksmith Robert Fitzsimmons. Measures 4x2.75" and is in nice cardboard with legal tender-like verso. NRMT. The fight never took place but was eventually fought in Nevada in 1897, when Corbett lost the title.
