INTRODUCTION

Over the years, hundreds of books have been published about boxers, boxing champions, and boxing in general. The missing link among them, however, has been a complete pictorial history of the sport. It has long been our aim to complete the chain, and we believe we have accomplished it in the present volume.

A Pictorial History of Boxing is the product of more than five years of research and planning. It was made possible by pooling our vast personal collections of photographs and illustrations. We were especially fortunate, too, in having at our disposal the rich files of The Ring Magazine, without which no history can be written. We believe that this book justifies the monumental task involved in preparing

it for publication. We regard it lovingly as a valuable contribution to boxing history, with its pictures of all the great champions and thrilling scenes of their famous battles assembled in one volume. Many of the portraits and fight scenes are very rare and, in most instances, are being published for the first time.

We have begun the book with “the father of modern pugilism,” James Figg of England, who in 1719 introduced the sport, defeated all opponents, and was recognized as first champion. Although the history stretches back Into the mists of antiquity, it is with Figg that the art and science of modern boxing begins.
