Versatile Al Brown combines business with pleasure in training for fight with Eugene Huat for World’s Bantam weight championship.“ Paris, France. Boxing champion Alfonso Teofilo Brown - better known as Panama Al Brown - stands in front of a small Jazz orchestra conducting the music. He then turns around to start singing (sadly this is mute). He then starts a very groovy dance routine before returning to the song. The band continue and Brown comes back onto the floor in training kit and with a skipping rope. He skips in time to the music.
