1916 Intense portrait photograph of boxer Jimmy Wilde as he poses in formal attire as he was being billed as the hottest British fighter in the world. Issued by the Central Press and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, the photo presents well with note to some pinholes from editorial use. This is the earliest and finest image of Wilde we have ever seen and offered here for the first time ever.
