Jack Johnson, known as the "Galveston Giant," was the first Black world heavyweight boxing champion, holding the title from 1908 to 1915. His skill, power, and defensive mastery in the ring revolutionized the sport and defied the racial barriers of his time. Johnson defeated white champion Tommy Burns to claim the title and later humiliated former champ Jim Jeffries in the infamous "Fight of the Century," exposing the myth of white supremacy in boxing.
