Heavyweight Champion Jack Dempsey is featured in this poster that was a supplement of The Chicago Sun on Sunday, October 11, 1942. It is part of a series of three posters featuring famous boxers serving in the War, with Gene Tunney and Joe Louis rounding out the group. Details about Dempsey's station and boxing record are below his illustrated portrait.
Jack Dempsey (1895-1993) is one of the most famous American boxers of all time. He was the world heavyweight champion from 1919-1926. Dempsey drew criticism when he did not enlist in WWI. By the time WWII came around, he was a household name and made it a priority to enlist with the U.S. Coast Guard, leading their physical education and training programs. He was onboard an attacker ship during the invasion of Okinawa.

What People Are Saying...

If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
