"New Zealand's place in world boxing is a surprisingly prominent one. From the 1800s to the second decade of the new millennium, New Zealand boxers have made a mark on the national and international stages. From the days of Bob Fitzsimmons and 'Torpedo' Billy Murphy through to David Tua's quest for a world title today, Kiwi boxers have occupied a far more significant place than the little country at the foot of the world would seem to deserve. Looking from boxing's earliest moments to today - and illustrated by some remarkable and previously unseen boxing memorabilia - and incorporating some of boxing's most famous names who visited these shores, the NZ Boxing Scrapbook offers a unique insight into 'the sweet science' of boxing and the men involved."--Amazon.com.
