On this day (January 7) in 1941, Liberty magazine announced that former heavyweight champ Jack Dempsey was joining its staff as sports editor, to “write on timely sports topics and… supervise other sports stories for the magazine.”
Though perhaps an unlikely editor, Dempsey wasn’t a total stranger to the magazine game. He had entered the ring in 1938 with “Jack Dempsey’s Sports Magazine,” which seems to have published at least two issues.
