Prizefighter: The Life of Jem Belcher
The birth of boxing.
Bare-knuckle boxing meets royal patronage in Regency England where a one-eyed prodigy climbs from mill-boy brawler to champion of the fancy within a single decade. A tale of pluck and pugilism under patronage and politics. The underrated 19th-century athlete gets his rousing underdog canvas.
