Kings Of The Ring by Gavin Evans
An illustrated book that chronicles the history of heavyweight boxing through the lives of its champions. It is a story of what made them into fighting men, of what became of them when their bodies could no longer answer the call, and of the times in which they lived in and the passions and prejudices that moulded their world.
'dazzling.. a handsome history of heavyweight boxing... stylishly written... terrific, arresting... it deserves a place on any fight fan's coffee table.' THE INDEPENDENT '... this truly wonderful book ... fantastic photographs... It's a cliche to say "if you only buy one book on heavyweight boxing, make sure it's this one", but the simple truth is it has to be said.' SUNDAY SPORT
