Lawrence Samuel "Larry" Gains (12 December 1900 – 26 July 1983) was a Black Canadian heavyweight boxer who was champion of Canada and the British Empire. One of the top heavyweights of his era, he was denied the opportunity to become World Champion due to the bar on black boxers competing for the title.
Gains was recognized as the World Colored Heavyweight Champion twice in his career, and was the last to be recognized as such when the title became extinct after Joe Louis won the World Heavyweight title on 22 June 1937.
Biography
Gains was born on Sumach Street in the Cabbagetown neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on 12 December 1900.Gains, Larry (1976), The Impossible Dream, Leisure Publications Ltd, 14 Fleet Street, London EC4. He took up boxing at around the age of twenty, after being asked to act as a sparring partner by Charlie Clay, and boxed out of Toronto's Praestamus Club, an organisation for Black boxers.[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=gZYfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=PtQEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3379,260857&dq=larry-gains+boxing&hl=en "Amateur Boxing Held at Toronto"], Quebec Telegraph, 21 November 1921, p. 3.

After a successful amateur career, Gains made the decision to go professional, travelling to Britain on a cattle ship and making his professional début in London as "The Toronto Terror" in June 1923.Page, Joseph S.

Many of his early fights were in France (where he befriended Morley Callahan and Ernest Hemingway, who at the time were working as newspaper reporters) and Germany, where he beat Max Schmeling in 1925. On 28 February 1927, he became Canadian Heavyweight Champion when he stopped Horace "Soldier" Jones in five rounds at Toronto. He later defended it against two of the biggest names in Canadian boxing at the time, Jack Renault and Charlie Belanger.Andrews, David L. (2001), Michael Jordan, Inc.: Corporate Sport, Media Culture and Late Modern America, State University of New York Press, {{ISBN|978-0791450253}}, p. 211.
In 1930, Gains settled in Leicester, England, where many of his fights over the next few years were held. Noted primarily as a slick boxer, he KO'd Phil Scott in front of 30,000 spectators at Leicester Tigers' Welford Road ground in 1931, taking the British Empire title, although the colour bar was still in place.Fruman, Andrew "[http://thecruelestsport.com/2011/08/23/a-backward-glance-1931-the-year-in-boxing-larry-gains-wins-empire-title-brown-sanstol-in-action/ A Backward Glance-1931, The Year in Boxing: Larry Gains Wins Empire Title, Brown & Sanstol in Action]", thecruelestsport.com. Retrieved 12 March 2012.
The colour bar was lifted in 1932, and Gains cemented his hold on the title with a victory over white South African Donald McCorkindale at the Royal Albert Hall, the fight ending in an unpopular points decision for Gains, with his trainer Jack Goodwin collapsing and dying during the fight.Cummings, A.

Gains was considered one of the top heavyweights of his era, but was denied the opportunity to fight for the British Championship and the World Championship due to the rules against black boxers competing for the titles, instead competing for the "Coloured Heavyweight Championship of the World", a title that he won in 1928 and 1935.Humber, William (2004), A Sporting Chance: Achievements of African-Canadian Athletes, Natural Heritage Books, {{ISBN|978-1896219998}}[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=mww_AAAAIBAJ&sjid=O04MAAAAIBAJ&pg=4181,1756327&dq=larry-gains+boxer&hl=en "Gains, Harvey Battle for Title"], The Border Cities Star, 8 February 1934, p. 3.

Legacy & Honors
In 2020 award-winning author Mark Allen Baker published the first comprehensive account of The World Colored Heavyweight Championship, 1876–1937, with McFarland & Company, a leading independent publisher of academic and nonfiction books. This history traces the advent and demise of the Championship, the stories of the talented professional athletes who won it, and the demarcation of the color line both in and out of the ring.
For decades, the World Colored Heavyweight Championship was a useful tool to combat racial oppression-the existence of the title a leverage mechanism, or tool, used as a technique to counter a social element, “drawing the color line”.
In 2015, Gains was posthumously inducted into the Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.{{cite web|title=Canada's Sports Hall of Fame|url=http://www.sportshall.ca/stories.html?proID=561 |website=sportshall.ca|access-date=23 August 2017}}
