There has always been a great boxing tradition in Newport and the
valleys of Monmouthshire, but recently the area has excelled
itself. Over the last two decades, no fewer than four world
champions have been groomed in local gyms. Robbie Regan, Gavin
Rees, Nathan Cleverly and the incomparable Joe Calzaghe may be the
stand-out achievers featured in this book, but they are far from
the only stars remembered here. Johnny Basham and the `Maesglas
Marciano', Dick Richardson, lead the way for the city on the Usk,
while there are many others who have worn the Lonsdale Belt or
claimed Commonwealth Games medals. And the changing face of boxing
is epitomised by Ebbw Vale girl Ashley Brace, the first woman to
top a professional bill in Wales - and the first to win an
international title. Some 70 boxers are pictured and profiled. Any
fight fan, whether a `Gwentie' or not, will enjoy this book.
