About the book

Jem Mace was the first worldwide sports star. He used an uncanny ability with his fists to achieve international fame, travelling the globe to promote himself and to present sport as theatre and entertainment. The last English champion under the London Prize Ring Rules, he was also the father of modern gloved boxing. This is the first biography of this major Victorian soprts figure, a larger than life character with cross-over appeal to non soprts fans.
