Description

From the present day back to the bareknuckle era and the 18th-century prize ring, boxing has always had its masters of menace, some to cheer and some to boo. Many were born on the wrong side of the tracks, while others seemingly made a bee-line for oblivion. Thomas Myler brilliantly brings to life these extraordinary fighters.
