Have You Ever Heard of Ypsilantian Homer Smith? The Nicest Heavyweight Champion You'll Ever Meet.
Dusty D has a story coming out in tomorrow's Courier--God willin' and the creek don't rise--about forgotten Ypsilanti heavyweight boxer Homer Smith.Did you know he fought Jack Dempsey? Yessir!--and remained friends with Dempsey for the next 50 years!
All the materials Dusty D has sourced about Mr. Smith indicate that, despite being a formidable, fearsome opponent in the ring, he was a good and kind man--might go so far as to say a sweetie.
It'll be in tomorrow's Courier! Jack Dempsey--wow! Mr. Smith DEFINITELY was a contender!
