Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive list of lineal world boxing champions has never been fully established... until now. In Lineal World Boxing Champions author Barry Hugman, an ex-Amateur boxer, has called upon his 35 years' experience of ultimately becoming a world-renowned boxing historian to establish what might be regarded as a definitive piece of work on the subject.Having helped to devise and set up the British Boxing Board of Control British Boxing Awards which started in 1984, Hugman received the WBC award for the book of the year in 1987 following the first of twenty-six publications of the BBBoC British Boxing Yearbook; launched the Boxing Monthly magazine in 1989; was nominated for the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York, before receiving the British Boxing Board of Control Exceptional Award for services to the sport of British professional boxing in 2011.His 1st Edition of the Definitive History of World Championship Boxing, now available in a three-volume 2nd Edition series, was hailed as: -"This 4-volume treasure is destined for the boxing reference Hall of Fame. A masterful entry." - Don Cogswell, President of the International Boxing Research Organization (IBRO).-"The word 'magnificent' really doesn't do justice in trying to describe boxing historian Barry Hugman's epic four-volume series" - Mike Silver, The Ring magazine.Using the 'Fight Summaries' from this series as a foundation, Hugman has now produced a chronological listing of lineal world champions across all seventeen weight divisions. Additionally, there is a career record and A-Z index for each champion, as well as an A-Z listing of all the losing challengers.This is an historically important book which will hopefully both clarify, once and for all, who the lineal champions are as well as, more than likely, provoke significant debate among followers of boxing.
