Boxing / LaMotta / Cerdan / Autograph. Authentic check from the Miami Beach First National Bank with autograph signature of Jack La Motta (1922-2017) dated April 9, 1956. For the record, Jack or Jake, alias Raging Bull, held the title of world champion of the means from 1949 to 1951, historic winner of Marcel Cerdan (injury in the 10th round) on June 16, 1949. He lost his title to Robinson, whom he had been the first to beat, in 1951. His sulphurous course will also meet the road of the French Villemain and Dauthuille. The well-named "casher" will still disappear at 95 years old !!! A little doubt, but remains a curiosity.
