British boxing in the Great Depression

Post by m1kee50 »

Help, please fellas!

My pal is doing a research project for his degree on boxers in the period 1929-1932, and wants to see if working class boxers were exploited at the time due to the economic circumstances. He has been in touch with historians over this, who have told him that there was a LOT of boxing over this period, but naturally if anyone knows of any books that might help him out?

I've told him to register on here and ask for himself, but he hasn't got round to it - typical student - he's a boxing fan anyway, his uncle fought for the European title, but that name escapes me presently.
