This is an unofficial, souvenir program for the heavyweight championship fight in Carson City, Nevada in 1897 between James J. Corbett and Robert Fitzsimmons. Fitzsimmons upset Corbett with his famous solar plexus punch to win the title. The program is four pages. The inside has illustrations of the two fighters with no text. Covers have nearly separated at the binding. Covers have soiling and back cover has a corner clip. Very seldom seen souvenir program.
