Since so much of boxing is uncatalogued and/or newly catalogued, how about a thread of pieces we can't ID definitively.
An engraving of John Morrissey [misspelled "Morressey"] by G.E. Perme, about 5 x 7:

About 4 x 6 on paper stock, name in blue ink but I don't think it is signed, blank back:

This one looks to me like a promo piece for a 1908 bout. Approx. 4.75" x 5.5" on card stock and blank backed:
