Book cover for Roger Anderson: The Fighting Irish

"The Fighting Irish" tells the remarkable story of how the Irish and their descendants took the boxing world by storm. Irishmen have enjoyed a unique place in the sport, punching way above their weight and exerting a truly global influence. From the brutal bare-knuckle era to the present day, they've played their part in many of the most famous--and infamous--moments in ring history, and have included such names as Jim Corbett, Jeck Dempsey, and James J. Braddock.
