Description
A chronicle of boxing, from the emergence of the sport in the 18th century and the first acknowledged heavyweight champion, James Figg - the father of boxing - to the present-day heroes and villains of the sport such as Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson. The greatest boxers of every era are profiled as well as the development of the sport in terms of training techniques, equipment and weight divisions. This updated edition includes the most important fights, from all weight divisions in the 1990s and shows how, from its humble beginnings, boxing has become the highly publicised international media circus it is today.
