Famous fights

This is my original copy of boxing newspaper Famous Fights: Past and Present. The paper ran from 1901 to 1904 and is eagerly sought by collectors and historians alike.


On the front cover of this copy is a fight between Frank Slavin and Jem Smith. Although the condition of this copy isn't perfect, it is complete. like much of my collection, I am unsure of its value so would be interested in any comments you might have about this.

  1. Love the art work on the cover of these old magazines.
    See a few copies on ebay always tempted to get some, think they'd look excellent framed in a man cave.
