Boxing / Balzac / Manuscript. Autograph letter from Billy Ba - Lot 28
Boxing / Balzac / Manuscript. Autograph letter from Billy Balzac accepting a match on March 20th 1920. This letter with its envelope is doubly captivating, not to say historic, because it reflects the climate of the noble art of the Roaring Twenties. Indeed, Balzac will meet neither Gailhard, nor De Rancy, as envisaged, but the Englishman Sid Burns! The meeting of the Boxing Club of France will take place on March 20, 1920 at the Cirque de Paris, and it will be a real fight, so eventful, that the two boxers will fall together from the ring at the 6th round !!! The Frenchman will come back first, the Englishman will take some time to recover, so Billy will be declared winner. An unexpected chapter of the great "Comédie Humaine..."
