Perhaps the most significant boxing match in the sport's history, Joe Louis avenged a loss to Max Schmeling two years past by knocking out the "Black Uhlan of the Rhine" in the first round of the June 22, 1938 rematch. Heavily cloaked in political and racial undertones, the fight became a symbol of the struggle between democracy and fascism, serving as a rallying event for a depression-weary America. The presented ticket stub originates from that iconic contest. Authenticated by PSA, it's one of the finest pieces of history dedicated to "The Sweet Science."
