James J. Jeffries won the World Heavyweight Championship from Robert Fitzsimmons in 1899. He successfully defended the title against James Corbett, Tom Sharkey and Jack Munroe before retiring undefeated. He came out of retirement in 1910 to challenge Jack Johnson for the heavyweight title, but was stopped in one of the most celebrated fights of all time. Presented here is a scarce signed photograph of James Jeffries. This is an 8” x 10”, second generation photograph of Jeffries in full fight pose. He has boldly signed this in fountain pen. Signed later in life. This comes from the collection of prizefighter Lefty Jorgenson. Signed photographs of Jeffries in fight pose are rare. Excellent condition.
