Nobody knows British fighters and their stories better than Steve Bunce, a great raconteur who lives and breathes his subject. A history that crackles with energy and is rich in empathy.
Paul Hayward, Daily Telegraph
Essential reading for anyone with even a fleeting interest in boxing.
Boxing Monthly
A brilliant read. Having covered thousands of fights for several newspapers, Bunce has crafted a wonderful turn of phrase and collected a library of anecdotes. Engaging details appear throughout, adding a welcome human touch to a brutally tough sport.
Press Association Sports Book of the Month
Bunce is a living, breathing British boxing institution. His new book, Bunce's Big Fat Short History of British Boxing, brilliantly weaves together some weird, wonderful and forgotten events from 1970 right up to the present day, to deliver an unmissable tribute to the sport we all love, and tales you'd think - if it wasn't Bunce telling them - were just too bizarre to be true. A treat for boxing fans of all ages.
Boxing News
An enthralling chronology of clout: for aficionados it is a treasure trove of memories; for the lay fan an absorbing year-by-year, punch-by-punch historical assembly of fights and incidents surrounding them. He writes - as he speaks - with a genuine passion, clarity and forthrightness, plus a huge reservoir of knowledge of the sport.
