Offered here is a dual-signed cut from legendary boxers Rocky Marciano and “Jersey” Joe Walcott. Marciano and Walcott waged two battles in their careers with Marciano topping Walcott in both bouts. Marciano was one of boxing’s all-time greatest heavyweights, retiring with a perfect 49-0 record. Marciano recorded a staggering 43 of those victories via knockout. “The Rock” fought plenty of star challengers during his title reign, including Roland La Starza, Ezzard Charles, Walcott, and Archie Moore. Tragically, Marciano perished in a small plane crash outside of Des Moines, Iowa, the day before his 46th birthday. Both fighters have signed this cut in bold blue pen. These signatures have been authenticated and encapsulated by SGU (AU839019) and have been graded Authentic.
