This double album is devoted to the exceptional match between African-American musicians and boxers who all packed a punch in carrying the hopes of their people. Selected by Monique Pouget and Jean Buzelin from material that has all the passion of the ring, these emblematic pieces evoke a people's admiration for it's champions... with some unexpected bouts with fighters who were heroes. A bonus is the tribute paid to the ex-boxers who shelved their gloves before going on to vibrate, body and soul, and with great talent, in the arena of blues and jazz.
