Boxer (1889–1973) who was bantamweight champion of the world from 1910 to 1914. Upon retiring, the diminutive man had a stage act where he challenged people to pick him up—and no one succeeded. Coulon’s trick was to feign a struggle and press a nerve on his opponent’s neck, rendering them unable to lift him. Vintage ink signature, “Yours truly, Johnny Coulon, ‘Former’ Bantamweight Champion of the World, ‘And now the man they cannot lift,’ 1/27/30,” on an off-white 4.5 x 2.5 page. In fine condition. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
