About this book

OCTOBER 1, 1975. The heat inside the Araneta Coliseum is suffocating; both men have given everything. Ali’s jabs snap through the air, Frazier keeps coming, relentless. Fourteen rounds of brutality, exhaustion, pride. Frazier can’t see; his corner stops it. Ali collapses, victorious but broken.

FOLLOW the story of boxing through a book of authentic newspaper articles, curated from original reports dating back to 1910. This edition charts the sport’s most iconic moments — exactly as they were reported at the time.

Featuring:

– Jack Johnson’s groundbreaking heavyweight fight in 1910
– The rise of legends like Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Sonny Liston
– The golden era of Clay / Ali, Frazier, and Foreman
– The thrilling reigns of Tyson, Lewis, and Holyfield
– Highlights from the greatest championship bouts of the last century
