| Description: |
The boxing prowess of Swansea and Llanelli is expertly highlighted by renowned fight journalist Gareth Jones, who tells the stories of 50 boxers who have fought and won Welsh, British, European and World championships; including Enzo Maccarinelli, Colin Jones, Floyd Havard and Brian Curvis. Foreword by Wales football manager, Chris Coleman. |
| Synopsis: |
The first world title fight in Wales featured Swansea lightweight boxer, Ronnie James, and the city produced another three challengers at the highest level before Enzo Maccarinelli finally reached the pinnacle. Colin Jones, Brian Curvis and Floyd Havard were far from the only top-class exponents of the boxer's craft to emerge from Wales's second city. And the rival conurbation across the Loughor Bridge has contributed its share of stars to the fistic firmament. As well as two-weight British champion Robert Dickie and the legendary Gipsy Daniels, who once knocked out the great Max Schmeling inside a round, Llanelli gave birth to the man who codified the laws by which the sport is regulated, famous under the name of his patron, the Marquess of Queensberry. Some 50 boxers are profiled in these generously illustrated pages. Whether or not you hail from the area, if you are a fight fan, this book will make a worthy addition to your shelves. |
