MILLS, FREDDIE SIGNED PHOTO POSTCARD (1950)

Frederick Percival "Freddie" Mills (26 June 1919 – 25 July 1965) was an English boxer, and the world light heavyweight champion from 1948 to 1950. He was born in Bournemouth, Hampshire. Mills was 5 ft 10½ in and did not have a sophisticated boxing style; he relied on two-fisted aggression, relentless pressure, and the ability to take punishment to carry him through, and in more cases than not these attributes were sufficient. Mills excelled as a light-heavyweight boxer, but occasionally fought as a heavyweight. He was described as Britain's biggest boxing idol in the post-war period. Offered here is a signed photo postcard of Freddie Mills, signed in 1950 when he was world champion.
This is an original real photo postcard of Mills in full, fight pose. Boldly signed in ink, "Best O Luck Freddie Mills 1950." Bold, clear image. Postcard is used. Not creased. Minor compressions. 3 1/2" x 5 1/2."
