Boxing’s first African-American world champion Joe Gans died from tuberculosis #OnThisDay in 1910 at the tragically young age of 35 in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. Gans won the lightweight title by knocking out Frank Erne in 1902. Erne had successfully defended the title against Gans in 1900, when Gans was forced to quit due to a serious eye injury as the result of a head-butt. Featherweight champion Abe Attell – pictured here with Gans – gave his opinion that "Joe Gans was the greatest lightweight that ever entered a ring. In his prime no fighter of his weight was his equal.” #boxing #BoxingNews #BoxingHistory #JoeGans #OldMaster (at Baltimore, Maryland)

#OnThisDay in 1906 Joe Gans defeated Battling Nelson via 42nd round disqualification in Goldfield, Nevada. Nelson – a notorious rule breaker – struck with yet another low blow during a clinch after wildly throwing punch after punch in an effort to win. Gans was the victor via disqualification, but Nelson would get his revenge, knocking out Gans twice in 1908 #boxing #BoxingNews #BoxingHistory #JoeGans #BattlingNelson (at Goldfield, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnQn8GGhGTz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=msoyy6wwlw4p

Joe Gans, the first african american world champ.. I like working on these smaller pieces while waiting for oil to dry. I can work on these in short bursts vs the longer blocks of time for painting on canvas #joegans #wip #painting #underpainting #workonpaper #mixedmediaonpaper #kwanza (at InterUrban ArtHouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdcGgVjrUFk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
