A Rare Recording of Boxer Jack Johnson

In this audiobook, Johnson recounts his historic victory on July 4, 1910, against former heavyweight champion James J. Jeffries in front of 20,000 spectators at a specially constructed ring in Reno, Nevada. As the first African American world heavyweight boxing champion during the Jim Crow era, Johnson, known as the Galveston Giant, solidified his legacy with this monumental match, often referred to as the "Fight of the Century."
