#13: ‘Bunce’s Big Fat Short History of British Boxing’ by Steve Bunce

‘Bunce’s BFSHoBB’ is a summary of the diaries and notebooks Steve Bunce has meticulously kept in his role as possibly the most prominent boxing correspondent and broadcaster currently working in Britain.

The book spans 1970-2017, with each chapter focusing on an individual year and giving a remarkably detailed overview of that year’s action. I have approached this book by dipping in and out of it over the last couple of years. It’s pretty dense with information so it’s not the type of book I’d attempt to read in one go, but as there isn’t any overarching narrative (apart form the lineage of British boxing) it doesn’t fall down because of this.
