Too little recognition is given to the sport of boxing, yet a number of yesteryear boxers such as Muhammad Ali, Mpush Lion King Makambi and Jack Johnson put their lives at risk of being assassinated for taking a stand against racism.
Ali refused to go and drop bombs and kill brown people in Vietnam when the US government treated Negros in Louisville, where he was born, like dogs and denied them human rights.
Ali was stripped of his world boxing title and banned for three years.
