Bare Knuckle Boxer 1

The first part of a Channel 4 documentary covering the career of legendary black #bareknuckleboxer, Bill Richmond; his nemesis, the rather scary Tom Cribb; and Richmond's ill-fated protege, Tom Molineaux. Look out for a brief cameo by Lord Byron too. Experts interviewed for the show include noted scholar and author David Dabydeen. The documentary itself was produced by Juniper Films, and was first shown as part of C4's 'Georgian Underground' series on the 1st of May, 2003. It was shown again by C4 on the 11th of September, 2009. You might find this useful if you're interested in #Georgian History, #BlackBritish History, slavery, bare knuckle #boxing, Tom Cribb or Western Martial Arts. Or if you just like a good scrap.
