Product description
In 1921, the first million-dollar gate in boxing history was achieved at Boyle’s Thirty Acres, immortalized here in this print. The composition features a profile of Jack Dempsey, his fists clenched in a classic crouch against a deep, textured navy background that makes the athlete’s figure pop.
