Boxing Emile Griffith signed 20x16 colour print. Emile Alphonse Griffith (February 3, 1938 - July 23, 2013) was a professional boxer from the U. S. Virgin Islands who became a World Champion in the welterweight, junior middleweight and middleweight classes. His best-known contest was a 1962 title match with Benny Paret. At the weigh in, Paret infuriated Griffith, a bisexual man, by touching his buttocks and making a homophobic slur. Griffith won the bout by knockout; Paret never recovered consciousness and died in the hospital 10 days later. Good condition. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
