Toulouse-Lautrec

"Brings vividly to life the boxing world of historical heroes and modern day gladiators. From the brutish beginnings of cobblestreet fighting on the squalid streets of London in the 1700s to the illegal bare-knuckle 'milling' of colonial Australia, to the spectacular events that attract stars and celebrities in the twenty-first century, Robert Drane details the 'sweet science of bruising', following the human stories behind the development of boxing." - blurb.
