Joe Ngidi

Joe "Axe Killer" Ngidi (19 March 1934 – 1 April 1990) was a South African professional boxer and trainer who rose to prominence during the 1950s and 1960s. Ngidi held the South African Black middleweight and welterweight titles during the era of apartheid-sanctioned sports segregation. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest "pound-for-pound" fighters the country has ever produced, despite being denied the opportunity to compete for a world title due to the political climate of his time.
