One of Wales' greatest boxers is being remember on the day he would have celebrated his 100th birthday.

Rhondda-born heavyweight Tommy Farr won the British and Empire title and was involved in a memorable world title clash with American great Joe Louis in 1937.

He lost, but Farr's performance would ensure he would go down in boxing history.
