Champions of the Ring

Boxing has attracted fans from all walks of life ever since fights were first held in the gladiatorial arenas of ancient Greece and Rome. This book is a tribute to those men who have battled it out with guts and style, often against the odds, to make their names in boxing history. In illustrated biographies, the book profiles the famous fighters, each with a personal tale of determination, triumph and sometimes tragedy. Among the heroes featured here are Henry Cooper, Muhammad Ali, Frazier, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, and 'Sugar' Ray Leonard. The book presents action-packed images and original press material recording their greatest moments.
