Press play to hear the Daniel Bright story
It takes a lot of guts to be a Boxer at any time.
The profession is filled with danger. Daniel Bright
may have become the first Jewish heavy weight champion
of the World, but fate made him another kind of hero . In
these pages we honour Daniel , Wally and Cecil Bright
Daniel Bright was due to fight the great Gene Tunney. This was an eliminator fight
if he had won . The next fight would have been Jack Dempsey for the heavy weight
championship of the World . These two men were giants of the boxing profession.
