Welcome to the Len Johnson Campaign

The Len Johnson campaign is dedicated to spreading awareness about one of the greatest middleweight boxers of his generation. Despite his talent and success, Len was not allowed to fight for British titles because of the colour of his skin. The British Board of Boxing Control barred Black boxers - even though born in Britain - from fighting for British titles. This campaign aims to secure funds for a statue of Len Johnson in Manchester City Centre and continue Len’s legacy work, educating people on, and challenging, racial and social injustices.
