Irish Boxing Review: 2012 EditionThe Irish boxing review covers all of the talking points and events from across the Irish boxing scene and beyond. Reports, news, articles, features, previews and photographs plus much more. "Finally a boxing book that pulls it all together: Fights, fighters, dates and proper 'live' reports. It's my type of boxing book - no fantasy, just the truth. Perfect." Steve Bunce "The Irish Boxing Review was a welcome addition to the fight scene here, and Steve Wellings as expected did a fine job, with interesting and informative articles. I look forward very much to the 2012 edition and long may Irish Boxing Review continue." Thomas Myler |
