| Publisher Description: Boxing as a competitive sport can be traced back to the time of the Romans but truly became a sport in the pubs, fairs and carnivals of Georgian Britain. This is a guide to British Boxing from the earliest documented bare knuckle fights to the Queensberry rules. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. |
