Pair of full boxing tickets framed neatly. The Louis Marciano ticket for the Polo Grounds October 1951. A famous fight as Rocky Marciano cried after defeating an aged Louis whom he did not want to fight. These Polo Grounds tickets were possible valid for the actual fight that took place at Madison Square Garden later that month. No ticket to MSG has surfaced. The second is Joe Louis vs Jersey Joe Walcott in 1948. Full ticket for Yankee Stadium rematch of the two where Louis knocked Walcott out in the eleventh round. Full ticket is framed with a photo of Louis that has been deemed no good by JSA. Upper box seat is EX condition from the front but we cannot determine how it is attached on the reverse.
