Jack Johnson World Boxing Art Print

This is a rare image of a vintage ad for Jack Johnson boxing as Champion of the World. We have several fine art giclee sports related prints including boxing,wrestling, and tennis. Most of these are available as canvas and in oversize murals. Arthur John (Jack) Johnson (1878 -1946) was the first black, and first Texan, to win the heavyweight boxing championship of the world. Jack Johnson was the first heavyweight champion of Negro boxing. Jim Jeffries, the white champ at the time, refused to fight Johnson because he was black. Then, in 1908, Johnson knocked out Tommy Burns in Australia to become world champion, although he was not officially given the title until 1910 when he finally fought and beat Jeffries in Las Vegas. Jeffries had come out of retirement to become the first of many so-called ' great white hopes.' See Jack Johnson World Boxing Art Print framed.

The quick frame option comes ready to hang and framed as shown, with acrylic glass and a solid wood black frame, no mats.
