Just picked this card up at a show last weekend. I love the background, with the spectators in tuxedos!
I took a look online at some of the other cards from this set and the art work is really nice. Colorful portraits with unique backgrounds. Going to be on the look out for more of these!
Lewis was only 25-years-old when he was forced to retire in 1939, due to blindness in his left eye, a condition he had been fighting with for years.
His last bout was a one round KO loss to Joe Louis. It is believed the heavyweight champion knew of Lewis' situation and agreed to the fight in order to give his friend one last big payday.
Harvey won the British middleweight, light-heavyweight and heavyweight titles during a career that spanned 22 years. He fought professionally in all 8 original weight classes.
