Corbett was an American professional boxer and a World Heavyweight Champion from the 1890s to 1900s, He may be best known as the only man who ever defeated the great John L. Sullivan. Despite a career spanning only 20 bouts, Corbett faced the best competition his era had to offer, squaring off with a total of nine fighters who would later be enshrined alongside him in the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Corbett introduced a truly scientific approach to boxing, in which technique triumphed over brute force. He pioneered the daily boxing training routine and regimen, which was adopted by other boxers elsewhere and has survived to modern days almost intact. He passed away in 1933 at the age of 66. Important Added Info: Note that many silent studios made felt pennants like these in the 1910s. They were made with all the top stars of the day, with the studio that they worked for, including stars like Charlie Chaplin, Ethel Barrymore, Mary Pickford, and many others. They were very popular at the time, but naturally, few have survived, because of the material they were created on and the fact that most were displayed! Condition: good to very good.
