    A copy of this photo is at boxrec.com/media/index.php/File:Rickard21.jpg. That copy is dated 18 May 1921 with no indication of the source for the photo or evidence for the date. www.fighttoys.com/rickard photo pair 1921.htm also date photos from this shoot to May 18 1921. This appears to be an offer for sale of actual photos, and indicates that there is a typed identification: TEX RICKARD Preparing for the big fight May 18, 1921. The big fight was on July 2, 1921. See www.paulbeston.com/blog/2017/4/9/dempsey-carpentier NYT coverage ran to many pages: timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1921/07/03/issue.html

    There are two dates on the negative: 9/23/27 and 5/18/21, which means that the photo was taken in 1921 and reused in 1927 by Bain News Service IMO.
  • swanq said:
    B-59 : I agree about the dates.

    Jess Willard successfully defended the heavyweight championship against Frank Moran on 25 March 1916. There's some film footage of the fight that's been put into a news reel format on YouTube.
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    Amazing! Thank you jschumacher for finding this footage. Beginning of the video shows off the spectacular architecture of the 1890 structure built by architect Stanford White.
