'Boxing in South Yorkshire' is a fighter by fighter history of the men who have hailed from South Yorkshire and in many cases, gone on to challenge and beat the best that the world could put up against them. Ronnie Wharton takes us on this one hundred year journey, through the lives of twenty eight of South Yorkshire's finest boxers. Starting with George Corfield, who pioneered glove boxing in South Yorkshire during the 1890s, through the days of such men as 'Iron Hague', Herbert and Harry Crossley, Bruce Woodcock, Heral Graham and down to such present-day heroes of the ring as Prince Naseem Hamed, Jonjo Irwin, Clinton Woods and Ryan Rhodes.
