Boxing: Unseen Archives
The 1880s saw boxing enter a new era, in which the brutality of the prize ring was slowly replaced by glove contests under Marquis of Queensberry Rules.
With the new dawn came the sport's first superstar: John L Sullivan.
His story begins a 120-year odyssey which features all the legends of the noble art: Dempsey, Carpentier, Louis, Duran, and Hagler.
And, of course, The Greatest, Muhammad Ali.
Superbly illustrated with photographs from the Daily Mail archives, this book relives some of the most famous and infamous moments in ring history.
