232 Chapter 11 “Black Steel”: Intraracial Rivalry, Soft Power, and Prize Fighting in the Cold War World Andrew Smith Nichols College INTRODUCTION In the 1970s, struggles over Black Power politics and national sovereignty in a Cold War World played out in heavyweight championship “mega-matches” around the world. Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman represented very different visions of the postwar African American experience during the “Golden Age” of boxing— differences that manifested in the prize ring. 1 Pulitzer Prize-winner Gwendolyn Brooks wrote the poem “Black Steel” in hopes that the brutality of their matches would be mitigated by their shared experience as African American men, by racial unity. 2 In actuality, these intraracial rivalries exacerbated the real and perceived violence. The import of competing African American experiences reverberated outside of the United States as well, particularly in the Global South. Championship bouts between Ali, Frazier, and Foreman became a valuable cache of “soft power” for nations who were not “Super Powers.” 3 Hosting one of these international mega-matches was a demonstration of viability and autonomy for those categorized as “Third World” in the taxonomy of the Cold War. Thus, the biggest prize fights—and some of the most important professional sporting events—in the 1970s took place well outside of the 1 Ira Berkow, “Memorable, Forgettable, and Others,” New York Times (NYT), January 1, 1991; Jerry Izenberg, Once There Were Giants: The Golden Age of Heavyweight Boxing (New York: Skyhorse, 2017). 2 Gwendolyn Brooks, Black Steel: Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali (Detroit: Broadside Press, 1971). 3 Joseph S.
