Born into slavery in Virginia, Molineaux was trained by his father, also a fighter, as was Molineaux's twin brother.〔Egan, Boxiana, Volume I, 1813.〕 He boxed with other slaves to entertain plantation owners. Molineaux earned his owner a large sum of money in winnings on bets, was granted his freedom, and moved to England where he expected to be able to earn money as a professional boxer.
