1902 Gans vs. Erne Full Ticket
<B>1902 Gans vs. Erne Full Ticket.</B></I> On May 12, 1902, Joe Gans won the World Lightweight Title by stopping the current Champion Frank Erne in one round at the International Athletic Club at Fort Erie, Ontario. Joe Gans was one of the most skilled lightweights in the history of the ring, compiling a record of 130 (eighty-nine knockouts) wins, nine losses, fourteen draws. Presented here is a very rare full ticket from this historic event. The ticket measures 6.5x2.25" and has a double stub, which is still attached, but somewhat fragile. The ornate back has glue residue and slight paper loss, likely from being placed in an album. The front is clean and uncreased with no punch holes. An extremely important and rare early twentieth century boxing ticket featuring one of the great early African-American Champions. <I>LOA from Craig Hamilton / JO Sports.</B></I> <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</
