L’oeil unique du grand paparazzi américain Ron Galella sur l’univers de la boxe :• Boxeurs professionnels sur le ring et ailleurs, avec leurs plus belles citations (Mohammed Ali, Mike Tyson, Joe Louis, Larry Holmes, Jake LaMotta, Rocky Graziano, etc.) ;• Diverses célébrités qui jouèrent à l’écran des rôles de cogneurs : Paul Newman dans Marqué par la Haine, Robert de Niro dans Raging Bull, Kirk Douglas dans Le Champion, Sylvester Stallone dans Rocky, etc. ;• Acteurs qui pratiquent la boxe en dehors de l’écran : Jack Palance, Tony Danza, etc. Boxing with the stars est un tourbillon d’images entre le sérieux et la provocation, un livre à mi-chemin entre la boxe et le show business. « [La boxe] est comme n’importe quel autre business, si ce n’est qu’ici on voit vraiment le sang. » Kirk Douglas dans « Champion », 1949.

Ron Galella defines paparazzi, and presents here approximately 150 images from the American photographer's extensive archive of famous people caught unawares, posing for the camera, hiding from the camera, loving the attention (as evidenced by open smiles), or hating it (as evidenced by outstretched palms or raised middle fingers). Galella has always tried to capture the moments when these stars come down from their gilded pedestals to become persons. This collection of images is accompanied by often-hilarious diary entries from Galella--how he got the images, where they were taken, what the public's reaction was to seeing their favorite stars in person. A lot of material is covered here--cities like New York, Hollywood, Las Vegas feature stars like Andy Warhol, Barbara Streisand, Jackie Onassis, Cher, Sammy Davis, Jr., John Travolta, Frank Sinatra, Warren Beatty and numerous others. Galella's Nikon has captured them all.
