Summary: This is the definitive biography of Sugar Ray Robinson - the man who Mohammed Ali described as "the King, my master, my idol" - and an expedition into the culture of celebrity in sports. In a career that spanned three decades, Sugar Ray Robinson fought 202 times, and at his height he went unbeaten for 91 consecutive matches. His most memorable rivalry was with Jake "Raging Bull" La Motta, who he fought six times, winning five of the contests. Fighters have been adopting his name, and trying to imitate his inimitable fighting style for decades, and there is little doubt that he is amongst the greatest and most influential boxers of all time. Robinson transcended race and sport to become a celebrity athlete in a way that no-one had accomplished before him. Yet, until now, his life and influence has never received the attention it deserves. In this critical new book, author and sports writer Kenneth Shropshire tells the compelling story of Sugar Ray, showing how he was the trailblazer the first athlete to be considered a celebrity, and one who changed the way that a black man could be seen in America. 3 Kg.

Zustand: Good. Color aquatint 32.5 x 24.7cm. sheet size.Signed and dated in the plate.'Drawn, Etchd, & Pubd, by Dighton, 6, Charg Cross, March. 1810'. Crease in lower right corner."Bill Richmond, the black pugilist, stands directed to the right, left leg advanced, fists raised. He is stripped to the waist, wearing a spotted handkerchief for belt, with neat breeches, stockings, and tied shoes."--British Museum online catalogue.Bill Richmond, whose skills in the boxing ring earned him the nickname the 'Black Terror', was born in Staten Island, New York. Lord Percy - the general who commanded the British Forces occupying the city during the American Revolution - witnessed Richmond's victory in a tavern brawl and took him in as a servant. In a number of matches against British soldiers, arranged by Percy for the entertainment of guests, Richmond was unbeaten. Percy brought him back to England in 1777 and Richmond began to fight on a regular basis. The most famous match of his career was against the British champion Tom Cribb in 1805 which he lost in the seventy-sixth round. Although he continued to fight intermittently, he became better known as the trainer of Tom Molyneaux, another black American fighter who eventually suffered the same fate at Cribb's hands.William 'Bill' Richmond (1763-1829) was a champion boxer and Britain's first black sporting superstar. His parents were enslaved in America when he was born but he was brought to England by an influential white family who helped him to become free and secure an apprenticeship as a cabinet maker, in Yorkshire, in his mid teens. For former enslaved people to start an apprenticeship was not common at this time.He eventually moved to London and it was here that he established himself as a champion boxer fighting some of the top boxers of the time. The sport was brutal during this period as it was fought without gloves and there was usually no limit to the number of rounds. It showed Bill's ability and physical prowess to have a long lasting and successful career. .After retiring from fighting he became a boxing trainer at a gym in St Martins Street, Westminster. Here his celebrity helped him build a list of MP's, nobility and even the famous poet Lord Byron as training clients. Perhaps the pinnacle of his celebrity was being one of the Guards of Honour at King George IV coronation in 1821 - a unique experience for a person born enslaved.References: V & A Museum, London E.71-1954; National Portrait Gallery London, Reference CollectionNPG D10726.

Zustand: Good. Color aquatint 32.5 x 24.7cm. sheet size.Signed and dated in the plate; Loss in upper left corner blank area.Born into enslavement on a Virginia plantation, Tom Molineaux (1784-1818) fought fellow enslaved people while plantation owners wagered on the contests. After winning one of these matches against a rival, Molineaux was granted his freedom and the sum of $500. By 1809, he had traveled to New York and subsequently to England where he pursued a title in London's boxing rings.Two notorious fights with English champion Tom Cribb in 1810 and 1811 won him a place in boxing history. In December 1810, Molineaux challenged Crib in a classic encounter. After some 39 rounds of give and take, Molineaux finally collapsed from exhaustion. British journalist Pierce Egan wrote of the contest: "Molyneux [sic] proved himself as courageous a man as ever an adversary contended with.[He] astonished everyone, not only by his extraordinary power of hitting and his gigantic strength, but also by his acquaintance with the science, which was far greater than any had given him credit for." In the rematch on September 28, 1811, Crib had an easier time retaining his title with an 11th-round knockout. In 1814, Molineaux defeated William Fuller in a two-round fight that lasted over an hour. Egan was so impressed by the intense action and stamina of the combatants, that he wrote the fight was, "without parallel." The two Crib fights made Molineaux a celebrity in England. But he fought only sporadically, opting to engage in numerous sparring exhibitions. In 1818, he died in Dublin, Ireland.Molineaux is considered the second notable American boxer, preceded by his Virginia-born trainer, Bill Richmond.
