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.
