Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In these pages, the reader enters a ring where not only fists fly, but also great feats. Stories from the History of Boxing is not limited to victories and defeats: it portrays unforgettable characters, electric nights, and a world that was a mirror of its time--fierce, epic, contradictory, and deeply human. From the bar owner in Orange who nearly dethroned the invincible Joe Louis to the absolute master of dirty tricks, Fritzie Zivic, from the shenanigans of promoter Don King to the historic greatness of Muhammad Ali, from great champions to those who fell just short, these tales bring to life the heroes and villains who shaped the golden age of boxing. Rough, brilliant, and excessive men, capable of the sublime and the grotesque, who fought as much against their rivals as against their own fate. Each chapter pulses like a fight: with the rhythm, tension, and intensity of a great championship night. With vibrant, well-researched prose, seasoned with touches of irony, the author reconstructs a universe where everything was spectacle, survival, and redemption. Popular idols, legendary champions, tough neighborhood guys, and awkward geniuses who defied the rules inside and outside the ring take center stage. It is much more than a sports book: it is a journey into a world where the ring is a mythical stage and every fight can change a life. An essential volume for fans, lovers of good storytelling, and readers seeking true stories as incredible as the best fiction.
