Bareknuckles
Bareknuckle fighting was one of the first organised spectators' sports and the first to boast a World Championship. Yet paradoxically throughout its history it was illegal. Dennis Brailsford is the first historian to describe the entire history of bareknuckle fighting from the Regency period until its decline in the early years of this century. He covers not only the London Ring spread of bareknuckle fighting to America and Australia. He introduces us to the individuals, the great names of bareknuckle fighting: Mendoza, Gully, and 'Gentleman' John Jackson, looking at their lives, how they trained, how matches were set up, fighting styles, financial rewards and their post-fighting careers. He also shows how new methods of travel and communication affected the organisation of fights and the efforts of those who tried to prevent them.
The Medal Factory
55 Olympic medals. 6 Tour de France victories. Countless world records and world championship victories. Since the year 2000, British Cycling, Team Sky and INEOS have dominated the sport of cycling to an unprecedented degree. But at what cost? Did Sir David Brailsford, Peter Keen and the other brains behind British Cycling's massive and sudden dominance in the modern era find a winning "Moneyball" formula? Or did their success come down to luck and personal chemistry? Did this organisation, founded on relentless, ruthless efficiency contain contradictions which threatened to overwhelm it, amid accusations of drug-taking, bullying and sexism? The Medal Factory tells the full story from amateurish beginnings through a sports-science revolution to an all-conquering, yet flawed, machine. Through interviews with Brailsford and Keen, Shane Sutton, Fran Millar, Chris Boardman, Sir Chris Hoy and many other key players, Kenny Pryde interrogates the parts of the story - lottery funding, marginal gains - that we think we know, and reveals others that have remained hidden, until now.
