bunce's new book on british boxing

Post by veriton »

just read in boxing monthly that buncey has got a book coming out in may of british boxing from 1970 to the end of last year. he mentions quite a few things that are going to be covered and it sounds excellent. he mentions a fight at a caravan park in cleethorpes which im guessing is carl thompson winning the british cruiser belt but from his overall description this book is going to be a full run through of the juiciest bits of the domestic scene over the last 45 odd years.

could be the best book since tris dixons road to nowhere. really looking forward to it.

Bunecey's writing is far more agreeable than his presenting style, and I'm sure he will have a whole host of stories to tell.

Reckon I will shell out for this.

No need. Curtis brings it to your house. He’s already on his way so you’d better have the money waiting for him..

Will this be better than 'The Fixer'?
