Joe Louis, Boxing great known as Brown Bomber, dies at 66

Former heavyweight champion Joe Louis dies at Desert Springs Hospital in Las Vegas at age 66 after a long illness. He held the world title for 12 years and defended it 25 times, an enduring record. Louis helped desegregate boxing and inspired athletes across sports. His rematch win over Schmeling in 1938 became a symbol against Aryan supremacy.
