On December 26th in the year 1908, an igbo man called nduka from Anambra, always with his eriri ozo on his legs, popularly known as Jack Johnson became the first African American World Heavyweight Boxing Champion by knocking out Tommy Burns. For years America would not show this image of a blackman knocking out a white man.
