WINNER OF THE 1996 WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR PRIZE. In
the early 1990s, Donald McRae set out to discover the truth about
the intense and forbidding world of professional boxing. Travelling
around the United States and Britain, he was welcomed into the
inner sanctums of some of the greatest fighters of the period - men
such as Mike Tyson, Chris Eubank, Oscar de la Hoya, Frank Bruno,
Evander Holyfield and Naseem Hamed among them. They opened up to
him, revealing unforgettable personal stories from both inside and
outside the ring, and explaining why it is that some are driven to
compete in this most brutal of sports, risking their health and
even their lives. The result is a classic account of boxing that
remains as fresh and entertaining as when it was first published 20
years ago. McRae approaches his subjects with wit, compassion and
insight, and the result was a book that was a deserved winner of
the William Hill Sports Book of the Year prize.
