I Fought Them All: How to Buy the Book
For fans of boxing, the Irish experience in America and those with an interest in the New York of the 1890s and 1900s, “I FOUGHT THEM ALL” is a must-have book.
It features an incredible array of colourful characters. Gentleman Jim Corbett, John L Sullivan, Jim Jeffries, Bob Fitzsimmons, Joe Choynski, “Spider” Kelly, Tim McGrath, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, “Honest” John Kelly, “Kid” McCoy and Senator Tim Sullivan.
It’s the story of fighters, trainers, promoters, gamblers and police officers, of winning a fortune in the ring and losing it outside, and of friendships forged by knuckle and glove.
This is a high-quality hardback book with 336 pages of text and 23 photographs.
The book is priced £25 plus post and packing.
***PLEASE NOTE THAT AS OF AUGUST 2012 THIS BOOK IS SOLD OUT IN PAPERBACK. HOWEVER AN E-BOOK IS COMING SOON***
