Knock Out True Story Of Emile Griffith GN 9/23/24 AF confront their fearsThe American boxing champion Emile Griffith gained notoriety in 1962 when he brutally defeated the Cuban fighter Benny Paret. Ten days after the fight, Paret, who had directed a homophobic slur at Griffith during the weigh in, died from his injuries. In Knock Out!, Reinhard Kleist draws a powerful, emotive portrait of a bisexual Afro Caribbean American athlete who, facing racism and homophobia in 1960s America, found success in the world of boxing.
