Tintype ID Help

Does anybody recognize this guy?

His stance and physique seem to suggest he is more than just pretending to be a fighter. And the background is kind of reminiscent of other boxer's studio photos.

Any ideas?

I have no idea, but that's a fantastic shot to find in tintype form.

Yeah that was my initial reaction. It's a unique image for the medium.
