The Ring's How to Box - by Nat Fleischer (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Nat Fleischer was considered by many as the "Father of Boxing." Starting "Ring" magazine in 1922, Fleischer was an avid proponent and fan of boxing throughout his life.

How to Box was originally written in 1929 and went through several editions up to the 10^th edition in 1962.

Created as a training manual for the beginning boxing enthusiast, Fleischer goes through the many aspects of boxing training with the intention of giving an insight into the technical knowledge of boxing, as well as providing a foundation for ongoing training in the art.
