When Boxing Was Boxing: A Nostalgic Look at a Century of Boxing

When Boxing Was Boxing is a photographic celebration of the sport's heyday. It's a beautifully illustrated tribute to an age when the noble art was a little more dignified and a little less preoccupied with money and the politics of sport. It's about a time when there weren't quite so many governing bodies nor multiple world 'champions' viewed only by tiny audiences on pay-per-view channels a time when boxing was once regarded as the pinnacle of professional sporting endeavour and not just a lucrative arm of the leisure and entertainment business.
