The definitive history of boxing in the words of its greatest fighters, trainers, promoters, and commentators. This second programme looks at two of the sport's pioneering black champions, Jack Johnson and Joe Louis, and the passions that drove them. Through their contrasting personalities and careers it shows how black boxers were first excluded, then demonised and then finally accepted by white sports audiences.
