Jack Carroll: And The Rise Of Australian Boxing

Jack Carroll was the greatest drawcard in the history of Australian boxing. Despite being a top contender for the world welterweight championship in the 1930s and defeating many of Australia's best ever middleweights, Carroll is rarely mentioned among Australia's greatest ever boxers. Jack Carroll and The Rise of Australian Boxing recounts Carroll's boxing career, from his struggles as a preliminary boxer to his battles to secure recognition as Australia's leading boxer, to his record-breaking contests with Bep van Klaveren, Jimmy Leto, Izzy Jannazzo, Wesley Ramey, Jack Portney, Willard Brown and Tod Morgan. This book also features the golden period of Australian middleweight boxing that brought Australian boxing back to popularity. The heated ten-fight rivalry between Fred Henneberry and Ron Richards and the savage trilogy between Jack Haines and Ambrose Palmer are recounted in detail for the first time.
