Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Jake Lamotta...

Item # 621747
February 26, 1943
THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, Michigan, February 26, 1943

* Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Jake Lamotta (day of)
* 3rd of 6 fights (tiebreaker)
* From Robinson's birth place


This 30 page newspaper has a five column headline on page 18: "Hayes Returns to Ring on Olympic Card" with subheads that include: "Sugar-Jake Rubber Bout Is Headliner" and more. This would be the third fight between the two.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Nice to have in a Detroit newspaper where Robinson grew up before moving to Harlem at the age of 12. Complete minor margin wear, generally nice.
