Boxing is one of the oldest and most physical of sports, its visceral appeal lying in the elemental struggle for dominance through the brutal weapons of fists and pain. The permeation of boxing into Western culture is the subject of Kasia Boddy's fascinating and all-encompassing investigation.
An engrossing and wholly readable sport history, Boxing draws the reader into the storied world of the boxing ring and exposes its ever-evolving place in our cultural consciousness.
