While not often thought of as a boxing haven, the massive continent of Africa nevertheless has not only hosted several world class bouts, but there are many pockets of pugilistic activity in different countries. Two hours is hardly enough time to sufficiently sum up the greatest and best-known African fighters of all time, but boxing historian Patrick Connor and Compubox operator Aris Pina do their best. Part 2, perhaps?

Technically Donovan "Razor" Ruddock's career lasted from 1982 to 2015 -- more than 30 years. In truth he had a long layoff from 2001 to 2015, but even so, as an active fighter, Ruddock ran the gauntlet of 1980s and 90s heavyweights that took over the division. Michael Dokes, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Tommy Morrison... Ruddock didn't win them all, but he was there. On this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler recall his story.

Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield was an extraordinary fighter. Over the course of more than 25 years in the ring, he defeated almost everyone put in front of him.

In this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, boxing historian Patrick Connor and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler remember the former heavyweight champion.
