This title charts the progress of one man's struggle to come to terms with an unhealthy preoccupation with boxing and assesses why so many fall prey to the lure of the ring. Probert gives portrayals of the great and not-so-great boxers that should linger in the memory of the reader.

ROPE BURNS charts the progress of one man s struggle to come to terms with an unhealthy preoccupation with boxing and assesses why so many fall prey to the lure of the ring. Although many of the characters in this book have earned their living by hitting people, they often emerge as sympathetic and vulnerable characters. Probert s portraits of the great and not-so-great boxers will linger in the memory. Indeed, the business of winning and losing that is so essential to them is a part of all our lives. If you have ever wondered what compels a man to risk his life for as little as a few hundred pounds, ROPE BURNS will provide the answers. It is a fascinating and brilliant study of obsession - on both sides of the ropes.

Ian Probert was born in Lancashire in 1962 and had several jobs before he succumbed to the ring as editor of Boxing Weekly and as boxing correspondent of the Sunday Sport.
