In his research project, the historian Dr. David Dee focuses, among other things, on the biography of the black boxer Larry Gains, who came to Great Britain in 1930 and was confronted with the so-called "Colour Bar" during his career. This rule prevented black boxers from competing against white athletes in official fights and thus from fighting for the British title. But it was not only the "Colour Bar" and political motives that prevented black boxers from developing their potential - racist motives also shaped the international boxing landscape.

as the author of »Deutscher Meister« (https://hoffmann-und-campe.de/products/253-deutscher-meister), a prizewinning novel about the defense artist Johann Rukelie Trollmann (https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/62355), I highly appreciate your work and would like to listen to your podcasts, but I need to download them. Can you please make that possible?
Best regards
