1926 Action photograph from the first bout between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney in Philadelphia, won by Tunney in a decision and setting up the rematch for the ages. A rare image that is hard to find (anything from this bout), the offered photograph is a silver gelatin original from Underwood and Underwood and offered here for the first time ever, fresh from their archive. The photo presents beautifully and grades essentially perfect.
