A Fight to Remember

on BBC Two England

Introduced by Harry Carpenter.
Primo Camera was 6 ft. 5¾ ins. tall; he weighed more than eighteen stone and was ex-heavyweight champion of the world. Joe Louis was four inches shorter and more than four stone lighter. He was coming to New York to make a reputation and Camera was his first opponent.
New York City: June 25, 1935, Joe Louis v. Primo Camera

Any man who could go fifteen rounds with Joe Louis was a fighter to be reckoned with. To have another crack at the title he must first meet the ex-champion Jim Braddock. The man fighting America's best was British - his name: Tommy Farr.
New York City: January 21, 1938, Tommy Farr v. James J. Braddock
