The Shadows of Boxing Summary

The Shadows of Boxing: Prince Naseem Hamed and Those He Left Behind by Geoffrey Beattie

Written half a decade ago, Geoffrey Beattie's ON THE ROPES was hailed a boxing classic - it told the story of Naseem Hamed's early days at Brendan Ingle's gym in Wincobank, Sheffield, up to his first world title in 1995. Since then Prince Naseem has become a household name. THE SHADOWS OF BOXING revisits Prince Naseem's roots, chronicles the contrasting fortunes of the hard men of Ingle's gym, looks at how the Hamed family have coped with the pressures of fame, and features the first major interview with Naz since his defeat at the hands of Marco Antonio Barrera
