The Roaring Twenties was an era of high living and extravagance, of hot jazz and new fashions, when America lived as if there were no tomorrow. It was a time when the heavyweight boxing champion of the world reigned supreme in sport and Jack Dempsey was the idol of the age. This definitive biography takes us through the thrilling career of the "Manassa Mauler." Dempsey's fights are part of boxing folklore: the massacre of giant Jess Willard, the first million-dollar gate against French hero Georges Carpentier, the sensational war with Luis Firpo, the bout with Tom Gibbons that bankrupted a town and the controversial "Battle of the Long Count" with Gene Tunney. Dempsey packed more drama into his career than almost any other boxer in history. A one-time hobo and saloon fighter, he came up the hard way and punched his way to fame and fortune. Tom Myler had the benefit of interviewing Dempsey in his retirement years, and he draws on their exchanges to give you the full inside story of Jack's life and times.

From 1917 to 1946, Damon Runyon, one of America's greatest writers, followed and befriended Jack Dempsey, one of America's greatest sportsmen, and now, for the first time, almost 200 reports of their interviews, meetings, opinions, and whimsy, as well as Dempsey's fights, are gathered together for the first time. Boxer Jack Dempsey and author Damon Runyon crossed paths frequently and often, from Jack's ascension to the gloried heights of world champion after triumphing over Jess Willard in Toledo in 1919, to his victories in the resined ring against Tommy Gibbons and Luis Ángel Firpo in 1923.In subsequent years Dempsey profited from his position as the "King of Fistiana," as Runyon described him, until the loss of Jack's crown to Gene Tunney in 1926. There followed the comeback fight with Jack Sharkey in 1927, and the second controversial defeat to Tunney a few months later (in what has been called The Battle of the Long Count). But Dempsey persisted with a grueling tour of exhibition fights through Depression-era America, followed by a restless life as a businessman and referee. The events of Dempsey's life have been the subject of heated arguments that have been reheated numerous times by all and sundry, yet Runyon has the advantage over other commentators by dint of having actually been there, ringside, in the gym, in the dressing rooms, offices and cafes, with Dempsey before and after the fights to give a unique and privileged view of events as they happened. This book, which collects three previously published volumes under one cover (1: A TALE OF TWO FISTS; 2: THE CHAMPION; and 3: KING OF FISTIANA) provides a definitive glimpse into the life and times of Jack Dempsey, who lost his crown but never lost the love and affection of the fans, and could, for many years, legitimately claim to be the most popular sportsman in the world. The Author: Damon Runyon became a worldwide literary figure after the publication and subsequent film adaptations (like Guys and Dolls) of his Broadway short stories in the 1930s, but before, during and after that time he was first and foremost one of America's greatest newspaper columnists. The Editor: Paul Duncan has edited and written over 150 books achieving sales of over one million copies worldwide.

Hall of Fame middleweight prizefighter John Edward Kelly, better known as Nonpareil Jack Dempsey, was one of the most popular athletes in the United States during the late 19th century. To many observers, Dempsey is one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in ring history. Inside the ropes, he was fearless, poised, quick, agile, and had terrific punching power with both hands. His story is rich--full of amazing highs and terrible lows. He was a poor immigrant Irish boy who scaled great heights to become one of this nation's first sports celebrities. He became a household name, wealthy and popular. But much too soon, it all came crashing down. His violent profession, alcoholism, mental illness, and tuberculosis left little to recognize of the valiant hero of so many battles.

Heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey called Sam Langford from Weymouth Falls, Nova Scotia, “The greatest fighter we’ve ever had.” And champion Jack Johnson stated he “he was the toughest little son-of-a-bitch that ever lived.” Celebrated New York boxing writer Hype Igoe said he was “the greatest fighter, pound for pound, who ever lived,” while New York sports writer Joe Williams said he “was probably the best the ring ever saw.” Langford was so good that many boxers refused to fight him, so good that he took bouts with bigger men just to get a match, so good that he once fought the greatest boxer of his age, Jack Johnson, who was forty pounds heavier and a good foot taller—and still went the distance. Yet, for all the ferocity of his talent, Sam Langford (1883-1956) could not outbox fistic fate. From his first bout in 1902 until his last a quarter century later, he battled boxing’s colour barrier that kept him from being world champion in three different weight classes. Still, he refused to be knocked down and relentlessly pursued a title shot until he was nearly forty. When, in 1923, he approached Jack Kearns, the manager of then heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey, for a title bout, the wily Kearns looked over the nearly blind, well-past-his-prime boxer, and shook his head. “We were looking for someone easier,” he sighed. He was just that good. When Langford could no longer get his title shot, he retired from the ring in 1926 and soon faded from the public mind—until the serious compilers of lists that recognize boxing’s all-time greatest began including his name, and he found himself becoming a legend. His official record says he fought 250 bouts, but he remembered fighting more than 500. And he loved to talk about them all, loved the stories that shaped the contours of his life and loved the absolute truth and less-than-certain tales that wove themselves into his boxing legend. Of course, this was as it should have been, because for him, great boxing was as much about the battles’ tales as it was about the battles themselves. This is the story of Sam Langford.

Galento the Great is the gripping biography of Tony “Two-Ton” Galento, the boxer who once fought Joe Louis—considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time—for the heavyweight title. It was written by Joseph G. Donovan in 1939, the same year Galento challenged Louis for the title. Domenico Antonio Galento (1910-1979) was an American heavyweight boxer, nicknamed “Two-Ton” for his reasoning to his manager for being nearly late to one of his fights: “I had two tons of ice to deliver on my way here.” Galento was one of the most colorful fighters in the history of the sport. He wrestled an octopus, and boxed a kangaroo as publicity stunts for his fights. He also boxed a 550 lb. (250 kg) bear, as a stage attraction. “THIS is an authorized, authentic and unvarnished story of my life and battles. The author has known me for 13 years and he, if anyone, knows the facts and figures, better than myself. While he has scratched my back a bit with his facile pen, both as Sports Editor and columnist of the Newark, N. J. Morning Ledger and as the author of my fighting career, I like it from page to page. Joe Donovan has as much punch in this story as I have in my left hook in the ring. And that is something.”—Tony Galento
