No announcement yet.
Wasn't Emile Griffith the first openly gay boxer?

To be honest I really don't care one way or the other about another persons ***uality. It's none of my business.

A good friend of mine sparred many rounds with Griffith, preparing him for bouts in the late 1960s and early 1970s. People knew he was gay, but nobody talked about it.
Shame that nobody mentions that he would beat Leonard, Duran, DeLa Hoya, Trinidad, Mayweather or Pac at 147.
