FROM THE BOOKS
Coloured Panama Al Brown as he became known, was born in the Canal Zone and picked up his boxing, along with dozens of other local boys by performing in an arena set up to entertain the American community there. By the time he was 20 he was the flyweight champion of the Isthmus and attracted the attention of Dave Lumiansky, a fight manager, who promptly took Brown to New York where he stayed for over three years and became a star performer.
