Full Description
The noble art of boxing is the world's oldest contact sport. Its Big Bang moment was the arrival of Thomas Alva Edison, whose pioneering feature film Men Boxing was produced in 1891. From that seed, boxing grew to become the first truly global sport.
Taking Men Boxing as its starting point, 97 Fights is a thrilling, no-holds-barred account that considers all the greats - Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali, Nicola Adams and Oleksandr Usyk among them. Modern boxing has weathered the storms of mob fixing, wayward fighters and personal tragedy, in and out of the ring. With signature precision and humour, and the passion of a true fan, John Sutherland charts the sport's precipitous climb, its golden era and its uncertain future, from 'The Thriller in Manila' to the unedifying spectacle of Logan Paul's 'Bragging Rights'.
