Play prompts Welsh children to demand apology for black boxer denied title shot

Hundreds of children have written to BBBC after watching The Fight, which tells story of boxer Cuthbert Taylor

The creators of a play telling the shameful story of how the black boxer Cuthbert Taylor was prevented from competing for a British title because of his colour hoped it would give audiences pause for thought.

But they have been overwhelmed by the passionate reaction of young theatregoers who have launched a campaign demanding a formal apology from the sport's governing body.
