Bantamweight boxer from Panama (1902–1951) who made history by becoming boxing's first Hispanic world champion. He died at the age of 49 in 1951 and was elected to the Boxing Hall of Fame in 1992. Great vintage and very rare fountain pen signature, “With my best wishes to you my friend from Al Brown W.B.W.C.,” on a light pink 4.5 x 3.5 album page. Also signed on the reverse by former champ Teddy Baldock. This was most likely signed in London in 1931, the day they fought and Panama won. In very good condition, with rough right edge, scattered toning and soiling, and some mild wrinkling. Baldock was forced to retire in 1933 because of damaged hands—sadly he died in poverty in 1971.
