A Brief History of British Boxing - From the Earliest Documented Times to the Queensberry Rules

Meer over het boek

Tracing the origins of boxing from Roman times to its evolution in Georgian Britain, this guide explores the sport's history, focusing on bare-knuckle fights and the establishment of the Queensberry rules. It highlights the scarcity and rising costs of early boxing literature, particularly from the 1900s and earlier. The book aims to make these classic works accessible by republishing them in high-quality, affordable modern editions, preserving the original text and artwork for new audiences.
