Descrição do livro

From brutal prize fights in muddy English fields to the spectacular modern revival of bare-knuckle boxing, this is the story of fighting stripped back to its rawest form.

Meet the legendary champions, notorious bruisers and scientific boxers who shaped the sport: James Figg, Jack Broughton, Daniel Mendoza, Tom Cribb, Tom Molineaux, Jem Mace, John L. Sullivan and many more. Discover the extraordinary rules of the old prize ring, the marathon contests that lasted dozens of rounds, the gamblers and aristocrats who financed them, the rise of boxing booths and underground fighting, and the eventual return of sanctioned bare-knuckle competition.

Fast-moving, accessible and packed with remarkable characters and contests, Bare-Knuckle Boxing: A Guide tells the fascinating story of one of the oldest, toughest and most controversial forms of combat sport.
