Broadside (360 x 240 mm), printed on one side only, paper browned, cut down centre fold and repaired with archival paper, previous sellotape browning visible. Harry Paulson (1819-1890), prize-fighter, born in Newark, Nottinghamshire. He was most famous for his three momentous bouts against Tom Paddock of Redditch which took place between 1851 and 1854, and the fight of over 100 rounds with Tom Sayers, a younger man and the champion of England at the time. After a brief biography we are informed of his fighting career "He next beat Tom Paddock (born 1824, died 1864) for ?25 a-side, at Sedgebrook near Grantham, Sept 23, 1851, in 71 rounds, lasting 95 minutes. They met again, Dec. 16, 1851, at the "Cross of Hands" Belper, Derbyshire, when Paddock won in 86 rounds, 95 minutes... They fought for a third time, for ?100 a-side... when Paddock was again conqueror, in 102 rounds, time, 2 hours 32 minutes. He next entered the lists with that Prince of English boxers, Tom Sayers, for ?50 a-side. This great battle took place at Appledore, in Kent, on Jan. 29 1856, and Sayers was victorious after 3 hours 8 minutes had elapsed, during which time 109 rounds were got through..." We are then given a brief description of Paulson's social life and an account of his death and funeral. It appears that Wilson, an old-established firm of Nottingham printers, also issued similar broadsides for the careers of other boxes: Bendigo, Sayers, Mace, Fryer, Click Soles and others. Apparently unrecorded.

br. È una storia che parte da un luogo, la Romania, da un tempo, sessant'anni fa circa e racconta vicende, che possono sembrare lontane, ma che, a causa dell'immigrazione da quelle zone, hanno sovente toccato noi e le nostre città e non sempre in modo indolore. Se, da un lato, questa testimonianza fa emergere gli aspetti più negativi e duri di una realtà con la quale i tanti Pedro si sono scontrati, dall'altro, si scoprono temi come l'amicizia e la solidarietà che spesso hanno risolto problemi apparentemente insormontabili. E poi, trovare questi valori abbinati ad una attività sportiva come la boxe che, spesso, nell'immaginario comune, è percepita lontana da sentimenti solidali, può servire a riflettere su molti pregiudizi e, magari, a modificarli. Il racconto che segue non ha quindi altro significato e valore di testimonianza di come, anche davanti alle più grandi difficoltà, non si debba mai perdere la speranza in un futuro migliore.

Roma, 1924, 16 marzo, fascicolo di 16 pagine de "La tribuna illustrata", con copertina illustrata.
ill., br. Per Mike la boxe non è mai stata uno sport, o un divertimento. È stata questione di vita o di morte, in cui l'allenamento duro, spietato, e la rabbia segnavano la differenza tra un'esistenza misera, da sbandato, e l'esistenza punto e basta. Cresciuto praticamente senza padre, in un ambiente in cui gente che diceva di amarsi si spaccava la faccia a vicenda, terrorizzato in casa e fuori, era un bambino grassoccio, timidissimo, bersaglio degli scherni dei ragazzi più grandi, che lo chiamavano "Fatina". Si è definito spesso la pecora nera della famiglia, ma per tutta l'infanzia è stato docilissimo, sempre in cerca di riconoscimento e di calore. Il candidato ideale alla delinquenza di strada, e al carcere minorile, dove infatti finisce. Proprio il carcere, e non sarà l'unica volta della sua vita, lo salva. Bastava qualcuno che gli instillasse un grammo di speranza in corpo e sarebbe arrivato sulla luna. A vent'anni diventa il più giovane campione del mondo dei pesi massimi, una furia nera che incute paura sia dentro che fuori dal ring. Ma il successo è un cavallo imbizzarrito, che bisogna saper domare, altrimenti ti disarciona. E non sempre è facile se le sirene del passato ti chiamano, e l'uomo che ti ha insegnato tutto ti lascia solo troppo presto a cavalcare la belva che lui stesso ha alimentato. La stessa che ti rende imbattibile sul ring, e ingestibile fuori. Vittorie, soldi, fallimenti, donne, alcol, violenza, prigione, droga entrano ed escono dalla sua vita come un vortice.
