I know next to nothing about boxing, and have very little interest in it beyond the “Rocky” universe of films. But “a book about boxing” was one of the entries in the B&N 2023 Reading Challenge, so I found this. And honestly? It‘s compulsively readable, and really pretty interesting. I still don‘t care about boxing as a sport, but this particular story is compelling. #thelastgreatfight #joelayden #miketyson #jamesdouglas #boxing
