"Infighting" is a chromolithograph from the "Boxing Positions and Boxers" series of trading cards issued by the P. Lorillard Company in 1893 to promote their Red Cross Long Cut tobacco. The card depicts boxers Joe Choyinski and Joe Goddard mid-fight, highlighting the aggressive close-combat style of the sport. The artwork captures the intensity of the action, making this card an iconic example of late 19th-century sports ephemera.
