Career Profiles - Peter Jackson (Part II)
Peter Jackson, nicknamed\xa0the Black Prince, (born July 3, 1861, St. Croix, Virgin Islands\u2014died July 13, 1901, Roma, Queensland, Australia), was an outstanding professional boxer. A victim of racial\xa0discrimination, he was denied a chance to fight for the world heavyweight championship while in his prime.\nThis second part of Peter Jackson's story documents the difficulties he faced in trying to get his shot at the heavyweight title with famous names such as John L Sullivan and James Corbett drawing the color line and refusing to meet Jackson in the ring. The impact this would have on Jackson is a sad one and would ultimately lead to a decline and eventually his untimely demise.\n\ufeffSubscribe\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/career-profiles/id1494210179\nWe are also available on Player FM, Spotify, Spreaker, and many more podcasting apps\nFollow us at:\nhttps://twitter.com/career_profiles\nhttps://www.facebook.com/btrboxingpodcast\nBecome A Patron\npatreon.com/btrboxingpodcastnetwork\nLearn more about your ad choices.
