Boxing Clever

There is little doubt in international professional boxing circles that the heavywight division receives most media attention. Wherever a world championship title fight is staged it becomes big news, not just for the connoisseur of the sport, but also for the casual fan who takes more than a passible interest in the particular encounter. The world heavyweight title is the supreme championship in boxing. This book encapuslates an in-depth quiz based on every boxer who has ever won the coveted world title from John L Sullivan to the current champs. The author has included in the questions, not only interesting facts about the undisputed champions but also those fighters who gained only partial recognition by one of the four world boxing organizations: World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC), World Boxing Organziation (WBO), International Boxing Federation (IBF). While it may cause some confusion, it is possible to have four different world heavyweight champions all holding a rival version of the title at the same time, a situation which is well documented and common to all weight divisions. However, more often than not in modern times, the rival title holders in the heavyweight division do eventually meet in a contest for the undisputed title.
