Rocky Marciano, born Rocco Marchegiano, is perhaps the most well-known heavyweight boxing champion in history, with his legendary status today resting on the fact that he remains the only heavyweight champion ever to retire undefeated. Marciano won the heavyweight title from Jersey Joe Walcott in 1952, and successfully defended that title six times before retiring in 1955 with a record of 49-0 (43 by knock out). Unfortunately, Marciano died tragically, at the age of 46, in a plane crash in 1969. Offered here is a 2.5" x 4.5" black & white promotional photo postcard signed in blue ballpoint by Rocky Marciano. Overall in fine condition with minor handling wear. We guarantee this lot to pass PSA/DNA or JSA authentication, and full certification can be arranged for an additional fee (please contact us at info@iconicauctions.com for further details).
