  • The World Colored Heavyweight Championship, 1876-1937
    Mark Allen Baker
    For six decades the World Colored Heavyweight Championship was a useful tool of racial oppression--the existence of the title far more important to the white public than its succession of champions. It took some extraordinary individuals, most notably Jack Johnson, to challenge 'the color line' in the ring, although the title and the black fighters who contended for it conti...

  • Battling Nelson, the Durable Dane
    Mark Allen Baker
    Oscar 'Battling' Nelson (1882-1954) was perhaps the toughest professional boxer ever to enter the ring. Although a Hall of Fame inductee, Nelson remains a lesser known great of boxing lore. From the beginning of his career at 14, the Danish immigrant presented himself as a man of integrity who never smoked, drank or took a dive. In the ring and in public, Battling Nelson c...
