Coming in 2022, TripleFightMuseum.com (TFM) will offer viewers an opportunity to get to know Joe Gans, boxing’s first African American Champion.

Gans, a native of Baltimore, Maryland, would become the Lightweight Champion of the world.  Although scarcely known today, Joe Gans was not only a boxing phenomenon in his day, he also a celebrity. Gans’ competency in the rings was such that he attracted fans, not only across the racial divide that defined and darkened the American landscape, but he drew fans from around the world.

Gans’ success against some of the most prominent fighters of his day, was an affront to those who held notions of White Supremacy.  For decades prior to Gans’ ascension, boxing’s Lightweight Division was the province of white American men.  There were consequences to his success, and TFM exposes some of the people, both in and out of the ring, who conspired to limit Gans’ fame and success.

In 2022, TFM has the ticket, which you can use to  explore the amazing life and times of one of boxing’s most successful and celebrated heroes.
