KNOCK OUT TRUE STORY OF EMILE GRIFFITH GN JUL190719 Up in their tree houseThe American boxing champion Emile Griffith gained notoriety in 1962 when he brutally defeated the Cuban fighter Benny Paret. Ten days after the fight, Paret, who had directed a homophobic slur at Griffith during the weigh in, died from his injuries. In Knock Out!, Reinhard Kleist draws a powerful, emotive portrait of a bisexual Afro Caribbean American athlete who, facing racism and homophobia in 1960s America, found success in the world of boxing.
