Like most black pugilists of his day, Boxing Hall of Famer Sidney "Beau Jack" Walker (1921-2000) struggled against discrimination in the sport. Despite this, he sustained an impressive 18-year professional career - 117 fights, 83 wins, 40 by KO. Walker retired from the ring penniless and went back to shining shoes.
