Kid Norfolk was one of the top fighters of his era, but was held back from superstardom by the color of his skin. A man who was willing to fight anyone anywhere, he holds the distinction of beating some of the biggest fighters of the era including Harry Greb, Joe Jeannette, Billy Miske, and Tiger Flowers etc. A fantastic piece of boxing history and from the International News and with a stamp on the back as well as a handwritten notation identifying this as training for Tom Gibbons.
