Kings of the Queensberry Realm is a book written by W. W. Naughton that explores the history of boxing and the legendary fighters who have graced the sport. The book takes its name from the Queensberry Rules, a set of regulations that were established in the late 19th century and are still used in modern boxing today. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different eras and fighters, beginning with the bare-knuckle era and moving through the gloved era, the golden age of boxing, and up to the present day. Naughton provides detailed biographies of some of the most famous boxers in history, including John L. Sullivan, Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson, among others. In addition to profiling individual fighters, the book also delves into the social and cultural contexts that shaped the sport of boxing over the years. Naughton discusses the role of race, class, and gender in boxing, as well as the impact of politics and economics on the sport. He also explores the controversies and scandals that have plagued boxing throughout its history, from fixed fights to doping scandals. Overall, Kings of the Queensberry Realm is a comprehensive and engaging look at the history of boxing and the fighters who have made it one of the most exciting and enduring sports in the world. It is a must-read for any fan of the sport, as well as anyone interested in the cultural and social history of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
