Battling Siki became the first black boxer to become world heavyweight champion in 1922 by beating Georges Carpentier. A Senegalese, a Dutchman, a Swede and an American, constantly contradicting each other, tell the unique life story of Siki. From his native village in Senegal, to the ports of Rotterdam where he marries Lijntje Appeltere, then via Paris, where he walks around with a leopard, to the streets of New York where he is murdered in 1925.
