Gypsy Joe vs. Curtis Cokes Poster 1967 |
|
|
Forget the glare from the camera--this is a beauty. It's a one-sheet (27x41) from Gypsy Joe Harris' stunning 10-round upset over welterweight champion Curtis Cokes in a non-title fight March 31, 1967, at Madison Square Garden. By winning, Gypsy got his photo on the cover of Sports Illustrated, thus becoming the first non-champion, non-heavyweight ever to grace the cover of SI. Though he never got a shot at the title, Gypsy Joe remains a cult hero in the sport, the first to wear tassels on his shoes (with little bells), years ahead of imposters like Hector Camacho. One of a kind!
