"Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson" perpetuates the long history of profiting from race conflicts in the ring

This week, Mike Tyson returns to the ring after a 19-year layoff. Not only has Clark’s talent on the court created a buzz, but it’s her anointing as the next great white hope in an industry dominated by Black athletes; some of whom are cast as villains for their “treatment” of Clark, like Angel Reese and Chennedy Carter. Additionally, Johnson wasn’t a Black man who “knew his place.” He didn’t fear white people. Per Jeffrey T. Sammons, a history professor at New York University and the author of "Beyond The Ring: The Role of Boxing in American Society": “Those Blacks became stand-ins for the authority or the establishment or the so-called ‘man...’ When there weren’t real white hopes, Black people became white folks based on what was perceived to be their political positions.” Famed boxing promoter Don King labeled Gerry Cooney the great white hope in promoting Cooney’s fight with then-champ Larry Holmes. It is why Jake Paul can secure a deal with Netflix to fight the “baddest man on the planet.” It’s good for business.
