Front Jacket Excerpt:
"Boxing is a sport which excites the emotions as no other. It is the most
basic of all sports, where the participants need not only skill, fitness,
strength, experience, patience and luck, but also in the last resort raw
courage. It begins with the prize ring days, and relates how the
championship passed from the first acknowleged bare-knuckle champion, James
Figg, through several hands to the stage when America became pre-eminent
and the Marquess of Queensberry introduced his rules and gloves. The
swashbuckling, hard-drinking John L. Sullivan then gave way to the former
bank clerk Gentleman Jim Corbett, the weight classes proliferated, and men
of all sizes from all nations became champions at their particular weights."
The front jacket features an action photo of Mike Tyson and book also
includes boxing records and statistics from the early days to present.
