Beautiful and rare 1924 posed fight photograph of Harry Wills, one of the earliest Black Superstar Boxers. He never got a chance at the title because of the Jack Johnson backlash that gripped America at the time, but he was easily one of the best Heavyweights of his era! A fantastic image showing off his fight technique in great shape and issued by the International News with a stamp and full paper caption on the back. All things considered, this is one of his best we have offered.
