“Boxing is the only sport you can get your brain shook, your money took and your name in the undertaker book”. The endless, primeval, appeal of the fight as summed up by ‘Smokin’ Joe Frazier himself.  The bravado, the brutality and the spectacle make boxing the phenomenon it remains to this day.  It inspires great writers as well as great fighters and some of the very best sports books are concerned with the feats of legends of the ring. Jack London, Joyce Carol Oates and, of course, Norman Mailer in The Fight have all written on the pugilist’s art.
