1920s Exhibits Harry Wills 🥊 Boxing Hall of Famer
This card is over 100 years-old showing Boxing Pioneer Harry Will hitting the heavy bag.
They just aren't making any nostalgic cards with photography like this nowadays.
In the 1910s–1920s, Harry Wills was widely considered as the most deserving challenger to heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey.
He was the No. 1 Heavyweight boxing contender for years (regardless of race), beat nearly every top Black heavyweight of his era, and defeated many white contenders as well—yet he was systematically denied a title fight.
