Gene Tunney - Boxing’s FIRST Fighter of the Year! 🥊

Rummy's CornerPublished Original on YouTube ↗
Original YouTube description

Gene Tunney made history in 1928, not just for his dominance in the ring, but for becoming the first-ever recipient of The Ring Magazine’s Fighter of the Year award. After stopping Tom Heeney at Yankee Stadium, the "Fighting Marine" did what few heavyweights ever do: he retired at the top. Was his departure the most perfect in boxing history? In this Short, we unearth the "hidden" 1928 announcement buried in the archives. #BoxingHistory #GeneTunney #RummysCorner #Shorts #HeavyweightChampion #FOTY
