description: "Theodore \"Tiger\" Flowers was an American professional boxer. Nicknamed \"the Georgia Deacon\", he rose to prominence in the early 20th century, becoming the first African American world middleweight boxing champion after defeating Harry Greb to claim the title in 1926. He was inducted into Ring magazine's Hall of Fame in 1971, the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1976, the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990, and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1993.\nA left-handed fighter, Flowers was fast and elusive, usually avoiding heavy punishment while landing quick, sharp blows."
