The Fight

'Breeding Boxers on the Breadline'

In the deprived valleys of the 1930s, boxing was more than just a sport; it was a way out of poverty.  Merthyr-born Cuthbert Taylor, now seen as one of the best boxers of his generation, should have had the opportunity to fight for a British title, but was denied this chance because of the colour of his skin.
