Boxer John L. Sullivan as a wife abuser...



Item # 693073

June 12, 1883

THE EVENING NEWS, Detroit, June 12, 1883

* John L. Sullivan wanted by police
* "Boston Strong Boy" spousal abuse
* Heavyweight bare knuckle boxing champion


The front page has an article headed: "'Knocked Out' In One Round" "Prof. Sullivan's Latest Achievements" (see) Reports the famous boxer who is wanted by the Boston police for abusing his wife.
Complete with 4 pages, light toning at the margins, a little spine wear with a few small archival mends here, generally good but should be handled with care.
