Boxing has attracted fans from all walks of life ever since fights were first held in the gladiatorial arenas of ancient Greece and Rome. This book is a tribute to those men who have battled it out with guts and style, often against the odds, to make their names in boxing history. In illustrated biographies, the book profiles the famous fighters, each with a personal tale of determination, triumph and sometimes tragedy. Among the heroes featured here are Henry Cooper, Muhammad Ali, Frazier, Larry Holmes, Mike Tyson, and 'Sugar' Ray Leonard. The book presents action-packed images and original press material recording their greatest moments.

Peter Brooke-Ball was born in India and educated at Wellinglon College and Exeter University. He left his career with British publisher Marshall Cavendish in 1986 to become a full-time writer. Derek O'Dell has been involved in boxing since he first entered the ring as a young schoolboy fighter. He began reporting boxing in Australia and continued his career as a boxing journalist when he retumed to Britain. O. F. Snelling has been writing about boxing for over fifty years. Shortly after the Second World War he entered the book trade, in which he stayed for thirty-two years.
