The first fighting Welshmen disappeared into the mists of time. Lawrence Davies' stirring history begins with the 'prize fighters' of the early 1700s who fought with sword and staff in the days of James Figg, the first Champion of England. In vivid detail, he revives the memories of the Welsh bare-knuckle boxers who subsequently gained fame or notoriety in the ring. The careers of many of these early Welsh pugilists have never before been recorded.
