Overview

Readers, writers, and critics alike look forward to each new collection of Thomas Hauser's articles about today's boxing scene. Reviewing these books, Booklist has proclaimed, "Many journalists have written fine boxing pieces, but none has written as extensively or as memorably as Thomas Hauser. . . . Hauser remains the current champion of boxing. . . . He is a treasure."

 

Hauser's newest collection meets this high standard. The Universal Sport features Hauser's coverage of 2021 and 2022 in boxing. As always, Hauser chronicles the big fights and gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at boxing's biggest stars. He offers a cogent look the rise of women's boxing and shines a penetrating light on the murky world of illegal performance enhancing drugs and financial corruption at the sport's highest levels. He explores how boxing has become a tool in the high-stakes world of "sportswashing" by Saudi Arabia and a flash point for discussions about Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine. The book culminates in a memorable four-part essay on the craft of writing coupled with reflections on Hauser's own induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
