Come Out Writing: A Boxing Anthology

This carefully crafted anthology of boxing literature brings together for the first time in a single volume some of the best writing on the sport from Britain and the USA. Spanning more than sixty years of the modern era, from Tunney to Tyson, it includes coverage of over twenty title fights, many of them classics, and features all eight weight divisions from flyweight to heavyweight. Come out Writing presents the myriad aspects of the sport from as many different viewpoints: here are Norman Mailer on Ali and Foreman: Peter Wilson on Louis and Walcott: George Kimball and Hugh McIlvanney on the Hagler-Leonard controversy.
