Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

The Boxers of South, West & Mid Glamorgan is essential reading for all followers of the noble art. 'If I want to know anything about the history of Welsh boxing, Gareth Jones is my man. Delighted he has produced another book in his Boxers of Wales series - particularly as it includes someone I will always have a soft spot for, Lennie 'The Lion' Williams, who had two epic battles in the 1960s with Frankie Taylor and Howard Winstone.' Colin Hart, Boxing Columnist, The Sun 'The Selby boys are here. Amateur glory, world title, so much talent. But once again it is a fighter that only the purest of fans can recall who catches the eye. This time it is Wee Willie Davies, a world-class flyweight, born near Maesteg, who moved to America as a child and met nine world champions. Welsh boxing, British boxing and even world boxing owes Gareth a great debt.' Steve Bunce, Broadcaster and Journalist
