Really? I tried to order for stocking in the store and it was said to be not available. I'll have to look into that, although if you're in the UK the release dates may be a little different.

EDIT: Nevermind I'm a moron. I was enquiring of the paperback edition. It has yet to be released. You guys have to look over me. Not alot of sleep as of late.

That is one of my all-time favorites. I bought a really tight clean copy a few years ago because the one I had had, an old library edition, was falling to pieces. Anyone that likes boxing should read it.

this thread just reminded me. I bought 3 books about 5 months ago and haven't opened them yet. I bought:
Cinderella man
A Sonny Liston Biography (which has details about his ganster/mob accusations)
A book on Muhammed Ali

Can't wait to read them now!

Does anyone know where I can get another boxing book listing all the heavyweight title fights in history and profiles of all the champions up to the current champions. I've looked in plenty of bookshops in the u.k but can't find any.

This seams something best served by a website. Books such as these are out of date by the time they're printed. A site such as this could piece one together, wiki style, fairly quickly.
