This is a 1921 Exhibits postcard featuring James John Corbett.

James John Corbett has been called the "Father of Modern Boxing" because of his innovations that changed prizefighting from a brawl to a scientific art-form.

Corbett won the World Heavyweight Championship by knocking out John L. Sullivan in the 21st round on September 7, 1892. His victory made him the first heavyweight boxer to win the championship under the Marquess of Queensberry Rules, which included the establishment of three-minute rounds, the ten-second count for a knockout and the use of boxing gloves.

This card is in good condition. See photos for more detail.
