Two months after Jack Dempsey beat Jess Williard for the Heavyweight championship of the world, another championship boxing match took place; in Munich for the German Professional title. Here, a boxer with gray trunks and yellow gloves against an opponent in yellow trunks and brown gloves. Judging by the detail of appearances, this image was likely a recognizable representation of the two fighters.
