Joe Jeanette was one of the greatest boxers of the era dominated by anti-Jack Johnson feelings that led to him never getting a shot at the title he deserved. Jeanette dominated the sport in the early 20th century and was relegated to fighting other black boxers like Sam Langford (who he fought 15 times). The offered rare photo shows Jeanette in the ring and battering a white fighter in front of a large crowd during the end of his career c. 1921. The photo is blank backed but there is a pencil identification of Jeanette and it appears to be him but more research is needed to pin down the exact identification and the fight.
