Jersey Joe Walcott - Beautiful Boxing

Highlights of the legendary former world Heavyweight champion. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/haNZAgod Jersey Joe Walcott - Was an American professional boxer who competed from 1930 to 1953. He held the NYSAC, NBA, and The Ring Heavyweight titles from 1951 to 1952, and broke the record for the oldest man to win the title, at the age of 37. That record would eventually be broken in 1994 by 45-year-old George Foreman. Despite holding the world Heavyweight title for a relatively short period of time, Walcott was regarded among the best Heavyweights in the world during the 1940s and 1950s. After retiring from boxing, Walcott did some acting, playing small parts in a few movies and television shows. He also refereed several boxing matches, but after the controversial ending to the second fight between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston, he was not asked to referee again. From 1971 to 1974, Walcott held the elected position of Sheriff of Camden County, New Jersey, the first African-American to do so. From 1975 to 1984, he was the chairman of the New Jersey State Athletic Commission. He retired with a professional record of 49-20-1 (31 KO's).
