Ralph Oates has been writing on the sport of boxing for over 25 years. In Aspects of Heavyweight Boxing, his eighth book, he has compiled a definitive collection of the most interesting facts and feats from the pinnacle of the sport - the heavyweight division.
The book covers all the major heavyweights over 123 years of boxing history: from the last bare-knuckle contest in 1889 to the modern-day dominance of the Klitschko brothers, from the first gloved heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan to David Price's British & Commonwealth triumph in May 2012. The book also includes a 16-page photo insert featuring many of the most iconic images of the sport's key figures, past and present.
Ralph Oates was born in Essex. His most recent book is The Ultimate Boxing Quiz Book (2009). He was a contributor to The British Boxing Board of Control Yearbook for 18 years, and is currently Boxing Consultant for Guinness World Records. He is recognised as the UK's leading author of boxing quiz books, and is regularly called upon as a trusted source of boxing facts, most recently in 2012 for the BBC's National Lottery programme Who Dares Wins. He lives in Hornchurch.
