Joe Louis and Billy Conn are linked together in boxing history. Conn moved up from his perch as Light Heavyweight Champion in 1941 to challenge Louis for the Heavyweight crown. He had Louis beat, but went for a knockout late in the fight and was himself knocked out in the unlucky 13th round. The ticket from that fight is part of four we offer here including: Louis-Conn I (6/18/41-GD-back damage, creased, chipped), Louis-Conn I (6/18/41-GD-back damage, edge wear), Louis-Conn II (6/19/46-VG-creased with surface, edge wear, chipped), Louis-Conn Exhibition Proof (10/12/42-VG-back damage, edge, surface wear). All four are full tickets and only the exhibition is a proof.
