Bøger af Gareth Jones

The boxing prowess of Swansea and Llanelli is expertly highlighted by renowned fight journalist Gareth Jones, who tells the stories of 50 boxers who have fought and won Welsh, British, European and World championships; including Enzo Maccarinelli, Colin Jones, Floyd Havard and Brian Curvis. Foreword by Wales football manager, Chris Coleman.

Wales has always punched above its weight in the boxing ring. The United States, with 100 times the population, may have been the dominant player in the sport, but St David has done remarkably well against Goliath over the 120 years since the first bout featured in this book, in 1894.

A must-buy for all fight fans, this book tells the stories of some 50 fighters from Merthyr, Aberdare and Pontypridd who have made their mark over the past century and a half, including Howard Winstone, Johnny Owen, Freddie Welsh and Eddie Thomas.
