I've just finished reading Dark Trade by Donald McRae (which is a brillant read by the way) and I'm looking for another book to get my teeth into.

Any recommendations?

Cheers folks.

In the Red Corner - The story of Cuban Boxing (And a freelance writer's attempts to make Tyson v Savon for allegedly).

read it.....well large chunks anyway.

Go straight to the Joel Casamayor chapter it's bloody amazing.


If you ain't read Eubank's autobiography yet then go for that cos it's class. Or you could even get into Michael Watson's "The Biggest Fight" which must be one of the best books I've ever read. M "TP'sC" W :bow:

I thought 'Dancing Shoes is Dead' by the South African boxing writer Gavin Evans, is an excellent read. :TU:
