WORLD CHAMPION BOXERS 1885 POSTER
PUGILIST World Champions 1885.
Here, John L. Sullivan, the Fighting Irishman, Paddy Ryan and other noteable fighters of the era promote LISTON's Beef Extract. At the bottom right, Sullivan and Ryan make statements about how good the product has been, along with their signatures.
Boxing of that era was relatively gruelling and brutal compared to today.
Sullivan claimed the title of heavyweight champion of American in 1882 against Paddy Ryan after stopping him in nine rounds.
Afterwards, Ryan said, "When Sullivan hit me, I thought a telegraph pole had been shoved against me endways."
Many fighters were of Irish descent. A tribute to the grit and determination of the Irish.
Online are many colourful biographies of the men displayed in this piece. I recommend you read about them. For example: search Harry Hill boxing.

I originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it.
I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
