In this first and only biography on the life and boxing career of
heavyweight boxing contender Joe Jennette, author Joe Botti
chronicles the life and career of this interracial athlete who
competed in the longest boxing contest of the twentieth century.
From 1904 to 1922 Jennette faced and defeated the most dangerous
fighters of his era, including Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, and Sam
McVea. Jennette was unable to secure a title shot due to the fact
that the world was fixated with finding a Caucasian boxer to defeat
Jack Johnson in the "great white hope" era. The story deals with
the struggles of interracial romance, racism, and the world of
boxing in the early twentieth century. Joe Botti is the Founder and
Head Coach of the Union City Boxing Club in Union City, N.J. He
studied at William Paterson University in Wayne, N.J. A former
amateur boxer, Botti has trained over 30 New Jersey Golden Glove
champions and currently manages and trains professional and amateur
boxers.
