For centuries there had been fistfighters, and from the early days of industry it was apparent that the Welsh had a particular passion for boxing. In this book the authors trace that passion through the lives of great, brave and elegant champions, by recalling their great bouts and by showing how moments of triumph were celebrated by whole communities. Every village had its heroes, and the hope was always that their names (with that of Wales) would gain the world's attention.Mountain Men and Prize Fighters: The Bare-Knuckle Era; 'Peerless' Jim Driscoll: 'One of Britain's Greatest Unsung Heroes'; Who Was Freddie Welsh?
