Jamie Clubb's Podcast

The second installment of the Christmas/New Year podcast story, "Coal for Jersey Joe". As Jersey Joe struggles to bring up a family and make enough money to eat, let alone fight, he finds himself languishing in the role of a journeyman boxer.  Meanwhile Joe Louis faces his own problems as his journey to heavyweight championship of the world meets a stumbling block in the form of Max Schmeling.  Jersey Joe demonstrates early signs of brilliance as his sparring partner as well as forecasting the problem that lies ahead. Elsewhere, ex-world champion Jack Johnson finds himself on a different side of controversy as he continues his feud with trainer, Chappie Blackburn. The episode takes us back round to Christmas 1944. Shownotes/links: Clubb Chimera WebsiteClubb Chimera Facebook PageClubb Chimera TwitterClubb Chimera YouTubeClubb Chimera InstagramJamie Clubb BooksTribute to the Man Who Didn't Quit Jersey Joe Walcott: A Boxing BiographyBoxing Biographies: Jersey Joe WalcottClose Encounters with the G
