<B>1888 Jem Mace Presentational Boxing Belt Buckle.</B></I> "Gypsy" Jem Mace, the Heavyweight Champion of England and two-time contender for the World crown in the 1860's and 1870's, is known to the sporting world as the "Father of Modern Boxing," a hugely influential figure on such pugilists as John L. Sullivan and even Jack Johnson. Mace presented this special buckle to one of his students in the fight game, a young boxer named Sam Bird. Expertly rendered engraving reads, "Presented by Jem Mace to Sam Bird, Jan. 7th, 1888, For His Clever Boxing with J.P. Sullivan, Champion Lightweight Boxer." Condition is remarkably strong for a piece approaching a dozen decades in age, with no noteworthy flaws to mention. One of the earliest major boxing awards ever offered at public auction, featuring the name of one of the 19th century's most important fighters. Measures 3x3" in size.
