An early 20th century real-photo postcard of the Tommy Burns-Jack Johnson Heavyweight World Title fight. The postcard has been signed by Burns to the right edge "To Mack Best Wishes Tommy Burns". Nice bold signature in blue ink. The photographic image shows Johnson standing over Burns as the Champion hits the deck.
Burns is the only Canadian-born World heavyweight Champion in history. He was the first to travel the globe in defending his title, making 11 defenses despite often entering as the underdog due to his inferior size. Burns famously challenged all comers as Champion, leading to his celebrated contest and ultimate defeat against Jack Johnson. Measures approximately 3 1/4" x 5 1/2". In EX condition with a couple of tiny corner creases.
