These fights really captured the imagination of the public - the English patriot versus the black American slave. People slept in ditches and dangled from trees to catch a glimpse of a fight that would never be forgotten. The exploits of Cribb popularised boxing among the upper classes, and in 1821 Cribb was a Page at the Coronation of King George IV. A key figure in the history of boxing, an amazing character and a great story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251911217496,"sku":"9780752447513","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780752447513_2a755871-7c6d-4afa-99be-4fc70980f534.jpg?v=1765269915","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/tom-cribb","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
