Historical Photos To Blow Your Mind: New Release!

Foxy Boxing

Here are some women boxing on a roof in 1938. No one had air conditioning, so practicing outside was more popular than in a stuffy theater. However, it’s unlikely they were actually throwing punches…at least not heavy ones. While the blonde boxer is probably actually hitting the brunette, it’s likely just a stunt punch, hence the smiles all around.

Since they’re all wearing dance shoes, chances are they are probably performers for a variety show. The original caption reads, “Radio Pictures Chorus Girls.” The photo was also taken on top of the Ball Building in the Paramount lot in Hollywood.
