‘The Hurt Business’ is a vast collection of essays and excerpts from longer pieces, spanning many decades of boxing in America.
As many collections of boxing essays take the same form, I’m probably going to end up repeating myself a lot during the process of putting this blog together, but… I find the best thing about anthologies is the opportunity to find new writers who have either focused on boxing their whole career, such as Budd Schulberg, or someone that delved into the world when invited, such as James Baldwin.
