Larry Gains
Lawrence Samuel "Larry" Gains (12 December 1900 – 26 July 1983) was a Black Canadian heavyweight boxer who was champion of the Dominion of Canada and the British Empire. One of the top heavyweights of his era, he was denied the opportunity to become World Champion due to the bar on black boxers competing for the title. ==Biography== Gains was born on Sumach Street in Cabbagetown, Toronto on December 12, 1900.〔Gains, Larry (1976) ''The Impossible Dream'', Leisure Publications Ltd, 14 Fleet Street, London EC4〕 He took up boxing at around the age of twenty, after being asked to act as a sparring partner by Charlie Clay, and boxed out of Toronto's Praestamus Club, an organization for Black boxers.〔〔"(Amateur Boxing Held at Toronto )", ''Quebec Telegraph'', 21 November 1921, p. 3, retrieved 2012-03-13〕〔"Toronto Daily Star", 22 April 1922 "Superb Battling in Ontario Finals"〕
