Description

Heavyweight boxer (1873-1953) whose career spanned from 1893-1904, who lost a 25-round fight to James Jeffries in 1899. Jeffries always claimed that Sharkey gave him his hardest fights stating that Sharkey was the roughest, toughest, and bravest man he ever fought. Intimidating vintage sepia matte-finish 11 x 14 full-length photo, signed and inscribed in green fountain pen “To my pal Hugh Fulloutor, the greatest writer of them all from Tom Sharkey.” In fine condition, with missing two corner tips, light rippling to edges, and some scattered light soiling. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
