Reviews
'It comes as a bit of a surprise to learn how many top fighters have emerged from beyond the traditional southern hotbeds. The final book in Gareth Jones's outstanding Boxers of Wales series pays them due tribute, while also revealing that a Cockney ring legend was in fact a Welsh-speaking Welshman!' Gareth A. Davies, Daily Telegraph; 'There is surely no writer with a deeper knowledge of Welsh boxing than Gareth Jones. Coming from Pembrokeshire myself, it is great that his latest book tells the stories, not merely of my county's British heavyweight champion, Scott Gammer, but old-timers such as Ocky Davies, the fighting milkman of the 1930s, and a rising star of the present day, Mickey McDonagh. This latest volume is a characteristically detailed study of the noble art in our country.' Riath Al-Samarrai, Daily Mail
