On today’s episode we discuss black boxing pioneers in England and America, from 1800 to roughly 1890. This is the first in a series of three episodes based on Louis Moore’s book I Fight for a Living: Boxing and the Battle for Black Manhood, 1880-1915. For this episode, we focus primarily on Bill Richmond, Tom Molineaux, and George Godfrey. For this installment, we also relied quite a bit on Luke G. Williams book Richmond Unchained. You can find links to purchase both books in the show notes.
