1941 Photograph of boxing legend Jack Johnson as he is seen giving a bit of advice to Abe Simon, an up and coming fighter. Simon appears to be listening and he should, Johnson is the star here and was one of the greatest fighters of all time! Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, this is an image we have never seen before and it is one of his last images ever taken in public.
