Description:

This anthology of boxing literature brings together in a single volume writing on the sport from Britain and the USA. Spanning more than 60 years of the modern era, from Tunney to Tyson, it includes coverage of over 20 title fights, many of them classics, and features all eight weight divisions from flyweight to heavyweight. The book presents the myriad aspects of the sport from 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. Some of the writers are household names, and not all are boxing specialists, but they all share a love of the noble art and an ability to convey the essence of the sport which represents the last vestige of the gladiatorial spirit.
