Black Heavyweight Championship

The Black Heavyweight Championship was a title in pretense claimed by the African American boxer Klondike (January 1, 1878 – February 3, 1949), who was born John Haines or John W. Haynes and by two-time colored heavyweight champ Frank Childs (July 17, 1867 – June 20, 1936). The six-foot-tall (1.8 m) Klondike fought out of Chicago as a heavyweight at a weight of 190 to 200 pounds (86 to 91 kg) from 1898 to 1911.
