But the rural counties have contributed their share to the nation's fistic history.\r\n\r\nIn the high-profile heavyweight division alone, the area covered by this book has produced two British champions and another who contested the title. Others have worn and challenged for Lonsdale Belts at lower weights.\r\n\r\nThe first British boxer ever to win a medal at the world amateur championships can be found between these covers, along with the incredible youngster who was ranked in the world's top 10 by the   American Ring magazine when he was just 16 years old.\r\n\r\nThis volume, packed with photographs - many published for the first time - profiles more than 50 boxers from the bare-knuckle era to stars of the present and future. It is a must-read for any fight fan, whether from Wales or further afield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 340g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 169 x 244 x 16 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781902719979\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gareth Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44105953870074,"sku":"9781902719979","price":17.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/fa0f246af53659c4c5072c05e9008901.jpg?v=1637815081","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/boxers-of-north-mid-and-west-wales","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
