1931 Fleet Boxing Champion


Recommended Posts

Here is a large belt plate award for the 1931 Fleet Heavyweight Boxing Champ, Ford Smith. Smith was likely a crewman on the USS Tennesee at the time. Ford Smith went on to box professionally after leaving the Navy in the mid 30's. I located a photo of Smith shortly after going pro and he is wearing this plate on his belt.
