It measures 3.5 by 4.5 inches and is in nice condition.
The two combatants had fought their 1st fight in June 1936 at Yankee stadium New York.
At that time, Louis was an undefeated 22 year-old contender for the heavyweight championship, and Schmeling was a 30 year-old German and former champion, considered to be past his prime and a decided underdog as Lewis was favored at 10-1 going into the fight.
Schmeling, however, was an astute tactician who noticed a flaw in Louis’s technique.
The fight ended in a major upset when Schmeling knocked out the seemingly invincible Joe Louis in the 12th round.
