Rubin Carter was a prominent American middleweight boxer known for his impressive knockout power and quick fighting style, earning him the nickname "Hurricane." He achieved notable success in the ring, including winning the NABF middleweight title in 1969. Beyond boxing, Carter became an advocate for justice after being wrongfully convicted of murder in 1967; his case gained international attention and was later the inspiration for Bob Dylan's song "Hurricane." After spending nearly 20 years in prison, he was exonerated in 1985, highlighting issues of racial injustice and wrongful convictions.
