Casual observers of the Welsh boxing scene might well think that
the best practitioners of the sport have all hailed from the
valleys and coastal cities of the south. But the rural counties
have contributed their share to the nation's fistic history. In the
high-profile heavyweight division alone, the area covered by this
book has produced two British champions and another who contested
the title. Others have worn and challenged for Lonsdale Belts at
lower weights. The first British boxer ever to win a medal at the
world amateur championships can be found between these covers,
along with the incredible youngster who was ranked in the world's
top 10 by the American Ring magazine when he was just 16 years old.
This volume, packed with photographs - many published for the first
time - profiles more than 50 boxers from the bare-knuckle era to
stars of the present and future. It is a must-read for any fight
fan, whether from Wales or further afield.
