ABOUT

This eagerly awaited book looks at British boxing through the posters, flyers, and handbills that once brought its biggest nights to life. Before the digital age, a single sheet of paper—stuck in a shop window, pinned to a gym wall, or tucked into a programme—was enough to build excitement and make a fight feel real.

Bold, eye-catching, and often full of personality, these designs captured the energy, rivalry, and anticipation that make boxing special. From striking images to dramatic lettering, they reflected not just the fighters, but the mood and buzz around each contest.

Taken from a personal collection, this selection revisits great title fights, rising stars, forgotten challengers, and some of the sport’s most famous names. Each piece gives a snapshot of its era, showing how the sport grew —from small local venues to major arenas—and how its style and atmosphere evolved over time.

More than just a nostalgic look back, this book is about the people behind those nights—the fighters, the fans, and the promoters. It celebrates the spirit of British boxing and keeps those moments alive for anyone who loves the sport.
