      The bittersweet story of Larry Gains, one of boxing’s greatest heavyweights who was shamefully denied world title chance

      by

      IN A ceremony in Essex on December 12 a blue plaque will be unveiled in memory of Larry Gains, who died 41 years ago.The name Gains will mean little to fight fans — yet he was one of the greatest and most popular heavyweights ever to grace British rings.Larry Gains will receive a blue plaque in a ceremony in Essex in DecemberGains was one of the most popular heavyweights ever to grace British ringsGains’ exceptional story is a bitter-sweet saga.Born in Toronto in 1900, the black Canadian spent six weeks on a cattle ship sailing to England seeking fame and fortune back in 1923.After making his pro debut in London — the start of his exceptional 146-fight career — he based himself in Paris and became a close friend of the American writer Ernest Hemingway, then a newspaper reporter.He fought all over Europe, forging a huge reputation — including a two-round KO of future world champion Max Schmeling.READ MORE IN BOXINGIn 1930, he settled in Leicester. He was idolised by the locals who treated him as one of their own.A crowd of 30,000 packed Leicester’s Welford Road rugby ground to see him KO Phil Scott and win the British Empire title in 1931.He fought in front of huge crowds in London — there was 70,000 at the White City Stadium to see him outpoint Primo Carnera before the Italian became world champ.Whenever Gains returned to Leicester after winning a big fight he would be met off the train by vast numbers led by the mayor and paraded through the streets.Most read in BoxingGains beat the beat Primo Carnera on points in 1932But Gains was in his prime in the most deplorably dishonourable 22 years in boxing’s long history.Shamefully Gains was never allowed to challenge for the world heavyweight championship, though more than capable of winning.He was the victim of the iniquitous colour bar at the time which prevented black boxers from competing for the richest prize in sport.That poisonous doctrine lasted from the moment Jack Johnson was defeated by Jess Willard in 1915 to when the ‘Brown Bomber’ Joe Louis began his illustrious professional reign in 1937.Gains would have beaten Schmeling and Carnera a second time, along with Jack Sharkey, Max Baer and James J. Braddock, the other world champs in the 1930s.But the racial prejudice of that era was deep-rooted.In a letter Gains wrote to Hemingway in 1925 — which inexplicably ended up in Boston’s JFK museum — he offered to spar with world champion Jack Dempsey. Racism prevented Gains from a shot at a world title – which he would’ve wonBut the Manassa Mauler turned him down as — in his words — he refused to train with “coloured men”.Gains consoled himself with being Canadian champion and twice being crowned the “coloured world heavyweight champion”.His last fight was in 1942 as he later joined the Army and spent the Second World War as a Sergeant Major and physical training instructor.I met him several times when he was President of the London Ex-Boxers Association. Always immaculately dressed in a suit, he was a man of great dignity.What impressed me the most — despite the humiliation he suffered — was that Gains didn’t bear grudges.Before he died of a heart attack aged 82 in 1983 he said: “For me the world title was always the impossible dream, the unreachable star.“The politics of the day was against it but I have no bitterness or regrets.”Gains’ descendants will gather at the Shoeburyness Hotel — his training camp was in the Essex seaside town — for the unveiling of the plaque in honour of him.His great-great grandson Michael Gains, who got the OK for the initiative, said: “I felt his amazing life deserved permanent recognition.”READ MORE SUN STORIESJimmy Cannon, a leading New York sportswriter once said of Joe Louis: “He was a credit to his race — the human race”.That judgement equally applies to Larry Gains.Larry Gains v Salvatore Ruggirello at Royal Albert Hall More

      by

      ROCKY star Sylvester Stallone has issued a grovelling apology to Jake Paul after claiming his life was “spared” by Mike Tyson.But Stallone first accused Tyson of producing “one of the great Oscar winning performances of all time” in his unanimous defeat to Paul.Sylvester Stallone has apologised after claiming Mike Tyson ‘spared’ Jake PaulPaul, 27, beat Iron Mike, 58, by unanimous decision earlier this monthAnd fans both inside the Dallas Cowboy’s stadium and at home were left bitterly disappointed with the display from both corners.Many accused the Netflix eight-round fight of being “fixed” as both Iron Mike and Paul barely threw any punches between them.Paul admitted to carrying the 58-year-old former world heavyweight champion, stating that he “wanted to give the fans a show” and that he “didn’t want to hurt somebody that didn’t need to be hurt.”But Stallone was not convinced and suggested Tyson “spared” Paul in a now-deleted Instagram post.READ MORE IN BOXINGThe 78-year-old actor’s caption read: “Just to set my personal record straight.”Business is business. SOMETIMES you have to do hard things and sacrifice for the sake of helping your FAMILY….”I have known this unbelievable athlete since he’s 19 years old and what we saw was him giving one of the great Oscar winning performances of all time!FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS”Please, Jake, be grateful, HE SPARED YOUR LIFE!” Most read in BoxingStallone’s post prompted an angry response from Paul in the comments.Jake Paul teases major career change from boxing to follow in footsteps of brother Logan despite beating Mike Tyson The 27-year-old brutally replied: “Always looked up to you as kid, but now you are a spreader of lies against my name. “Sad to see you fall. Maybe it’s all the plastic surgery.”But Stallone has since rolled back on his harsh words and apologised to Paul five days later.Stallone edited the post, writing: “Just to set my personal record straight … upon second viewing the best man won that night. My apologies. Keep punching.”He has since deleted the post altogether.Tyson’s final bow defeat to Paul was one of the most-watched sporting events EVER as it peaked at 65 million streams.JAKE PAUL VS MIKE TYSON: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE BOUTPaul was forced to respond to a series of claims questioning the legitimacy of the fight.His promotional company’s statement read: “This is not the first time Jake Paul has faced unfounded scepticism or outright disbelief as a professional athlete.READ MORE SUN STORIES”And frankly, the claim that his bout must have been rigged is just the latest backhanded compliment to come his way.”This event, which broke attendance and viewership milestones for a professional sporting event, is yet another example of his ability to deliver on the biggest stage.”Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson round-by-roundMIKE TYSON’s long-awaited return to the ring didn’t have the fairytale ending fight fans dreamed of.SunSport’s boxing expert Wally Downes Jr recaps one of the drabbest and most forgettable nights in boxing history.And he didn’t hold back, issuing a scathing assessment of social media sensation Jake Paul.Round OnePaul says “I love you, Mike” just before the opening bell sounds. He quickly runs away and holds the boxing legend.Tyson draws a big reaction from the crowd as he lands a jab and a good right hand.Verdict: 10-9 TysonRound TwoPaul ran away in the opener and held – just like we thought he would.Tommy Fury had it first and now Mike Tyson. It’s clever because Tyson will tire. Paul tags Tyson’s body with a straight right.Tyson looks spent now. 180 seconds in and the fight looks over.Verdict: 10-9 TysonRound ThreeThe legend cannot even keep his gumshield in. As expected it’s a waste of time. Paul has run away until the 58-year-old has tired.Shooting ducks in a barrel now. Tyson might get hurt here. Paul lands a couple of clumsy shots and Tyson wobbles backwards.Tragic after three.Verdict: 10-9 PaulRound FourThis is proper rubbish. The crowd are bored and boos are being heard.This is just two tired big lumps going at it.  One a legend, one a promoter.Verdict 10-9 PaulRound FivePaul jabs the body and aims right for the head and another one-two clips the icon.Tyson cannot keep his mouthpiece in, he is gasping for air. Paul lands a left hook but then so does Tyson.Verdict 10-9 PaulRound SixThank God these weren’t three-minute rounds. We are getting about four punches per round.Tyson is gasping in the air but replays show a left hook did graze Paul’s beard.Verdict 10-9 PaulRound SevenTyson slips a jab and tries an uppercut.
