What is it about boxing that charms and bewitches us? John Wight
looks for the answer as he delves into the world of beautiful
brutality. Showing that boxing is fundamentally tied to the human
condition, he pulls back the curtains of his own masculinity to
reveal the insecurities, life experiences and vulnerabilities that
first drew him to the sport and have informed his engagement with
it over a 20-year period. While relating his experiences in boxing
gyms on both sides of the Atlantic, Wight reflects on the sport's
origins, analysing some of its most memorable moments and
characters. Through Wight's compelling memoirs we encounter some of
modern boxing's most fascinating figures, among them Freddie Roach,
Manny Pacquiao, James Toney and Scotland's IBF junior-welterweight
world titlist Josh Taylor. Straddling the line between nobility and
barbarity, boxing operates on a different moral and spiritual plane
than other sports. This Boxing Game explores why and how.
