Pugilistica

Pugilistica explores the history of modern prize fighting from its bare-knuckled roots in England, the adaptation of the Marquess of Queensberry rules, to its migration to America, and why so many athletes and fans love the sport so much. Stories, anecdotes, and truisms about some of our most beloved and lesser known professional boxers are revealed along the way, while raising awareness about the need for a future universal pension and health plan for those participating in the art of pugilism to better secure their medical and financial futures.
