@alyciambaum should of gotten credit with a knockdown early in round 4. She had Shin really hurt to. Very grateful to have been there ringside. Hopefully @MostVpromotions brings her back to New York. I was entertained. #thebomb#mvpw02#msg#boxingfan
#INFO#News-In-Brief #BlackExcellence#BlackHistory365#BoxingFan#JackJohnson On Boxing Day , 117 years ago in 1908 , Jack Johnson became The Boxing heavyweight champion of the world- the first ever black heavyweight champion - and after many years of challenging Burns to the fight.
Eventually Johnson met & beat Burns in front of a largely unsympathetic Australian crowd deeply rooted in the colonialist & imperialist values of the day🫡
Aside from his repertoire of Technical Boxing Skills, Johnson stands as a symbol of strength, defiance & thriving excellence against incredible odds.
His autobiography is a worthy addition to a reading list dedicated to perseverance , excellence & rising above externally imposed limitations.

On this day in 1908, Jack Johnson became the first Black American World Heavyweight Boxing Champion by knocking out Tommy Burns.
Johnson holding on to the heavyweight crown was not acceptable in an era of white imperialism.
If I was sensitive I would have a burner act without my name so ppl don’t know who I am to not get personally attacked and prob have a dumbass name like boxingfan . Think about that one genius
One of my favorite era’s of boxing. I met Sugar Ray Leonard at LAX. He had a car waiting for him and still took the time to take a picture with me and talk boxing for a few minutes. He’s a super nice guy! He had titles in the welterweight, light middleweight, and light heavyweight divisions!! Im on the right lol!!👈😃👍
