Southpaw great Tiger Flowers died #OnThisDay in 1927 from complications during surgery to remove scar tissue from around his eyes. He was just 32 years old. The Georgia Deacon was the first ever African-American middleweight champion when he outpointed his legendary rival Harry Greb in 1926. Greb died just over a year previously – also at just 32 – on the operating table in similar circumstances to Flowers. Rest in Peace, two great warriors. #boxing #boxingnews #tigerflowers #harrygreb
