A discussion about the history and legacy of Phil Martin and Champ’s Camp with some of the men who knew him best. Martin broke the mould of UK boxing with his training programmes and stubbornly battling racism and London domination in the sport. Steve Bunce, journalist, sports pundit and boxing historian, writes,
‘Phil Martin was the first major black promoter. Fighter, trainer, manager and promotor. Nobody like him since and nobody before him’.
