Emile Griffith

Emile Alphonse Griffith (February 3, 1938 – July 23, 2013) was a professional boxer from the U.S. Virgin Islands who won world titles in three weight divisions.
A five-time world champion boxer. An adoptive father. Twice voted the American boxer of the year. A known bisexual. An honorable Olympic coach. A murderer. Emile Griffith was a controversial figure in his time and remains one today. After a successful boxing career and a deadly "accident", many are still unsure what to make of Griffith and his legacy.
We take through the journey of Emile and how his difficult childhood and struggles with sexuality would lead him to become one of boxing's great fighters of the 1960s and 1970s
