Earl Gibbs

Name: Earl Gibbs
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois, USA
Pro Boxer: Record

Earl Gibbs was a student at the University of Chicago during his boxing career, literally "fighting his way through school." An African American, he was a good boxer with speed, but not known for his punch. Even so, he floored the well known Nick Castiglione in their fight of May 25, 1939.
