Original c. 1920 photograph of the young Heavyweight Champion of the World Jack Dempsey as he shows how he keeps fit between bouts, by training and eating a ton of oranges! An early photo showing the champ looking young and ready to retain his title for six more years! Issued by the Keystone View Company and stamped on the back with a nice paper caption as well, the photo presents nicely with note to a crease on the far right side and a pinhole that is hard to see.
