1915 Head to toe photograph of the reigning Heavyweight Champion of the World, Jack Johnson, as he started his training in Cuba for his upcoming bout with Jess Willard. The fight would go down in history as one of the most important in history and this photo comes fresh from an archive, offered here for the first time ever. The photo has a crease and some pinholes from editorial use, but the clarity is fantastic. The photo is identified as the work of a photographer named Martin from Havana.
