Readers, writers, and critics alike look forward to each new
collection of Thomas Hauser's articles about today’s boxing
scene. Reviewing these books, Booklist has proclaimed, “Many
journalists have written fine boxing pieces, but none has written
as extensively or as memorably as Thomas
Hauser. . . . Hauser remains the current champion
of boxing. . . . He is a treasure.”
Hauser’s newest collection meets this high standard. The
Universal Sport features Hauser’s coverage of 2021 and 2022 in
boxing. As always, Hauser chronicles the big fights and gives
readers a behind-the-scenes look at boxing’s biggest stars. He
offers a cogent look the rise of women’s boxing and shines a
penetrating light on the murky world of illegal performance
enhancing drugs and financial corruption at the sport’s highest
levels. He explores how boxing has become a tool in the high-stakes
world of “sportswashing” by Saudi Arabia and a flash point for
discussions about Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. The book
culminates in a memorable four-part essay on the craft of writing
coupled with reflections on Hauser’s own induction into the
International Boxing Hall of Fame.
