The gay boxer pass one tt of masculy but fails another. By gettg to the rg and fightg, he monstrat strength and skill far beyond the powers of most of the men watchg him. By clarg himself a gay man, the pro boxer tak the risk that the same observers—the vast majory of them heterosexual—will believe, by their standards, that he is ferr. His sexual behavr outweighs his achievements the rg.</p><p><span>Cz’s great urage g out was wily hailed and is still celebrated. In October 2012 he issued a prs release about his sexualy, jt two weeks before his featherweight tle fight wh Je Pazos Kissimmee, Florida, which he won. His announcement and subsequent victory ma history, as </span><em>USA Today</em><span>, the Los Angel </span><em>Tim</em><span>, </span><em>The Guardian</em><span>, </span><em>Forb</em><span>, </span><em>Time </em><span>magaze, and numero other media not famo for their boxg verage quickly noted. After the announcement, Cz was sometim booed, as he was before a tle fight wh Orlando Salido London 2013—but not often. He ntued to fight and to w.</span></p><p><span>Cz was wrten about </span><em>The New Yorker</em><span> magaze 2016. His victory over Alejandro Valz that year for the NBO Super Featherweight tle was dited to victims of the mass gay nightclub shootg Orlando a month earlier (49 ad); the fight was held nearby Kissimmee. In 2017 Cz was featured as a LGBTQ “trailblazer” an ad mpaign by the apparel manufacturer Lululemon, which aimed to showse “men around the world who are challengg the tired, tradnal stereotyp of masculy posive ways.” In 2018 he was the star of two large summer events Chigo, the Puerto Rin People’s Para and, one week later, the cy’s huge Pri Para. In May 2020 Telemundo celebrated his g out and his boxg rerd wh a special program.</span></p><p><span>Cz’s 2012 announcement was good for boxers and for gay men. The </span><em>New Yorker</em><span> article by boxg wrers John Flor and Ouisie Shapiro (thors of </span><em>One Punch om the Promise Land</em><span>, a book about Leon and Michael Spks) treats 2012 as a marker Cz’s boxg rerd as well as boxg history. The thors note that Cz had won seven of ne fights the four years between his announcement and the appearance of the article, which turns out to be a marker of s own. In 2016 Cz held the North Amerin Boxg Organizatn’s super featherweight tle. But shortly after the article appeared Cz did not w the World Boxg Organizatn World Lightweight champnship, which he lost to Terry Flanagan. That fight end the bt phase of Cz’s reer. He went on to lose two more fights, draw one, and then retire.</span></p><p>Cz started fightg 2000 and piled a lifetime rerd of 25 ws, 7 loss, and 2 draws (25/34), 74% ws. Before his 2012 announcement his rerd was 18-2-1 (18/21), 86% ws. Cz won seven bouts after the 2012 announcement but lost five; for fights held after the announcement, his rerd was 7-5-1 (7/13), 54% ws. His last boxg years were unimprsive. Do the facts suggt anythg about the relatnship of his announcement to his boxg reer?</p><p><span>We know that Griffh’s boxg rerd cled sharply after he ed the ath of Benny “Kid” Paret 1962. Griffh seems to have lost nfince his self-ntrol after this disaster and to have bee a more ut—and hence ls-succsful—boxer. Gay life ught up wh Griffh before his ath 2013. He ma the New  York </span><em>Tim</em><span> an terview shortly before he ro the Gay Pri para the cy 2007. He was a gut of the Stonewall Veterans Associatn and was vice-print of the group. Much more regnn me after his ath, however, cludg an unprecented number of dramatic and mil works based on his life. Griffh had a rerd of 85-24-2, over three tim as many fights as Cz had, and by the time he was regnized as a sexual pneer, mentia had set .</span></p><p>Cz had a much better experience as a gay boxer than Griffh uld have had as a bi-sexual boxer. It do not seem likely that there is a nnectn between Cz’s announcement of his gayns and the sharp cle his w percentage that we see above. Did his opponents get tougher? Apparently they did not. rat both boxers a given match g a system of one to five stars, where five stars mean that those boxers are among the bt 100 boxers, three stars put them among the bt 900, two among the bt 2,700, and one star among the bt 8,100 boxers.</p><p>In his boxg reer Cz had only four three-star fights, two before 2012 and two after; he lost them all. Most of his fights were two-star fights, cludg his last loss, although earlier he had won six match agast two-star boxers. Cz boxed for 18 years and had 34 fights. Dependg on where you look, you will see that the average featherweight has a reer of about 14 years and fights about six tim per year, more than Cz at his bit. Cz had five fights one year and four fights each of two years, cludg 2016. But he averaged fewer than two fights per year and also fought at the lower levels of petn, one- or two-star match.</p><div class="ptned-image-ntaer"><figure><a class="image-lk is-viewable-img image2" target="_blank" href=" data-ponent-name="Image2ToDOM" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><div class="image2-set"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset=" 424w, 848w, 1272w, 1456w" siz="100vw" /><img src=" width="1200" height="675" data-attrs="{"src":"" class="sizg-normal" alt srcset=" 424w, 848w, 1272w, 1456w" siz="100vw" loadg="lazy" /></picture><div class="image-lk-expand"><svg xmlns=" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="#FFFFFF" stroke-width="2" stroke-lep="round" stroke-lejo="round" class="luci luci-maximize2"><polyle pots="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyle><polyle pots="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyle><le x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></le><le x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></le></svg></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Cz’s learship on the gay ont outsh his boxg reer. To be a hero to homosexuals, Cz did not need to be a champn, but he did need to be a profsnal boxer. It has been said that Benny “Kid” Paret’s hostily to Griffh’s sexual inty, which led to Paret’s fatal juri the rg, stemmed om the homophobia of Paret’s Lato culture (he was Cuban). Cz was born Puerto Ri and has surely endured and overe the same homophobic prejudice.</p><p>Thgs have changed sce Cz’s retirement. For example, Febary 2023 Gay Boxg Champnships were held Sydney, part of Sydney’s WorldPri 2023 ftival, which was a mix of arts, sports, and human rights discsns. There were two days of amatr fights, each lastg for three two-mute rounds. Speakg of trib, I note that Sydney WorldPri took place “on the lands of the Gadigal, Cammeraygal, Bidjigal, Dag, Dharawal people who are the Tradnal Ctodians of the Sydney Bas.”</p><p>There is now a Wiki page that lists LGBT boxers, cludg sixteen women and eight men. Most of the fighters are ntemporary and clearly belong both to gay-lbian trib and the tribe of fighters, the lims of which they are helpg to refe. </p><p>The Wiki page also offers a few exampl of lost liv of historil tert, men who bshed wh fame and the very famo. Three stand out.</p><p><span>Most notable is the bantamweight Panamanian Alfonso Teofilo Brown (</span><strong>Panama Al Brown</strong><span>; 1902-1951), who was the first Lat Amerin world champn. He had 163 fights, wh 129 victori, an amazg rerd. He is ranked among the greatt of all bantamweight boxers and was ducted to the Internatnal Boxg Hall of Fame 1992. Brown also enjoyed a reer gay baret Paris, where he shared an apartment wh Jean Cocte, the French poet and a lear of the surrealist movement. Cocte also managed some of Brown’s boxg reer. When he need medil treatment, Brown received fancial assistance om Cocte’s close iend, Co Chanel, one of the most important figur the history of fashn. (There is, fortunately, a full-length bgraphy of the extraordary Brown; I n’t wa to read .)</span></p><p><span>Then there is the German Norbert Gpe (known as </span><strong>Wilhelm von Homburg</strong><span>; 1940-2004). He boxed om 1962 to 1970, after havg had a pro wrtlg reer that he shared wh his father. He had a mor film reer followg some time prison for sellg marijuana to a p. He worked wh German director Werner Herzog </span><em>Stroszek</em><span> (1977) and appeared </span><em>Die Hard </em><span>(1988) and </span><em>Ghostbters II</em><span> (1989). Sadly, he died a homels man.</span></p><p><span>A distctn of a different kd belongs to Canadian boxer </span><strong>Mark Lc </strong><span>(1962-2009). He won a silver medal boxg at the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. He spoke as an anonymo gay athlete on CBC Rad 1993 and me out a year later a televisn documentary lled </span><em>For the Love of the Game</em><span>. He was a grand marshal the 1999 Toronto Pri Para. Like Cz, who was also an Olympic boxer, Lc lived an era which was possible for gay boxers to intify themselv. But there seems to have been no notice of his 1994 announcement that he was gay, chiefly bee, after his Olympic succs, Lc had only five fights as a pro, wng four of them. That said, Lc serv cred for g out as an athlete and an advote for his gay tribe. He did not box long enough to leave a mark the tribe of fighters.</span></p><p>Griffh and Cz have earned admiratn for their bravery as boxers who also belonged to a tribe many boxg fans shun. But the two boxers are not the whole story. A brief look at their liv and reers leads to the liv of other boxg men whose sexual behavr do not f the boxer stereotype. The three men noted above, Brown, von Homburg, and Lc, are rarely mentned. But they are important. They show that long before Griffh’s time the tribe of the fighter had ma room for at least a few members who phed agast the narrow lims so often imposed on the man who box.</p><p><strong>Books by Allen Frantzen</strong></p><ol start="2022"><li><p><strong>Boxg and Masculy: Fightg to Fd the Whole Man.</strong><span> Amazon e-book $3.99</span><br /><span></span></p></li></ol><ol start="2016"><li><p><strong>Morn Masculy: A Gui for Men. $2.99</strong></p></li></ol><p> </p><p>Also available as La Masculidad Morna: Guía Para El Hombre. </p><p></p><ol start="2023"><li><p><strong>Allen reviews 100 boxg books at</strong></p></li></ol><p></p><div class="subscriptn-widget-wrap"><div class="subscriptn-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p>Allen’s Substack is a rear-supported publitn.
