Boxing

     Boxing is a truly international past-time. Few sports are pursued and followed with the same intensity on all five continents and across all cultural boundaries. Hardly any other sport provokes such a mix of curiosity, admiration and doubt —but still remains hugely popular amongst its fans. Boxing offers an insight into this bold world of fighting, bringing it to vivid life with an abundance of illustrations, and informing the reader of all its historical, cultural and athletic facets through a revealing, well-written text. The appendix offers a list of all world champions of every weight class and the winners of the Olympic Games.
