Description: ITEM DESCRIPTION: Note: Watermark does not appear on actual photo. Up for sale is a 7” X 9” 1956 Rocky Marciano photo as he announces his retirment and the symbolic hanging up of the gloves. Rocky understandably looks sad in this photo not at all his usual joyful persona. The attached newsprint on the reverse is dated 4/27/56 the actual date Rocky made this announcement. Great photo of the boxing legend, and one of the most historical boxing photos you could hope to find. Would look great framed with a Rocky autograph. In formation appearing on LOA: “1956 Important photograph of Rocky Marciano, the great Italian Heavyweight Champion of the World, as he announced his retirement from boxing.
