About Bobo Brazil

Bobo Brazil, also known as Houston Harris, was an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Bobo Brazil. Credited with breaking down barriers of racial segregation in professional wrestling, Harris is considered one of the first black professional wrestlers to be a marquee name in North America. Brazil's first recorded match was on March 29, 1948, in Benton Harbor, wrestling as "Houston Harris, The Black Panther" against Armand Myers to a 30-minute draw. Brazil refused the championship and they met a couple of weeks later and Rogers won. Neither Brazil nor Sammartino were officially recognized by the NWA as having won the World Heavyweight Championship.
