On April 5, 1915 in Havana, Cuba World Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson fought Jess Willard. Under a grueling sun the two fought for 26 rounds when suddenly the giant Jess Willard stopped the aging Johnson with a hard straight right hand.

Offered here is a real photo postcard from this fight depicting the end of the fight with Willard standing over the fallen Johnson.
