Looks at the Indigenous history of boxing. A number of Indigenous men have been involved in the sport, dating back to the early 1900s, when Jeremy Jerome was the first Indigenous person to win a national boxing title and took out the Australian Middleweight title in 1912. Since then, the sport has produced many champion boxers including the Sands brothers, Lionel Rose and Tony Mundine. Part of ICAM series.
