My biography of Len Johnson, the 19203/30s middleweight from Manchester who could not fight for championships because of a boxing colour bar, is now available as a free PDF for anybody who wants it. The book itself is now sold out. Johnson was Britains outstanding middleweight, defeating many champions in non-titles matches, but he lived in an era when racist attitudes prevailed, and a government sponsored colour bar existed. The book - a social history as well a being a biography - tells about Johnsons life and times, and also looks at why/when the colour bar came into being and how it ended. If any of you want the PDF just let me have your email address.
