Around the World in 80 Fights

This book captures the magic of the sport - the glory and the heartache. * Ricky Hatton *Bunce is a walking talking boxing library, and is not frightened to say what he thinks and says. I’ve enjoyed many nights and many fights with a true legend of the game. * Tyson Fury *Steve and I go way back, all the way back. He has been ringside at all my fights, from national amateurs all the way to Wembley stadium. He is the only reporter who could have ever got close to that lift in the Garden. * Anthony Joshua *Bunce captured the madness in Memphis around the fight with Tyson… the behind-the-scenes story of the Bruno fight and was there from York Hall to Las Vegas. * Lennox Lewis *No matter what fight it is, or what part of the world it’s in Steve seems to be an ever present ringside at every boxing event! He has covered my career from amateur to pro and his love and enthusiasm for the sport is infectious. * Katie Taylor *Steve Bunce is the best boxing writer in the world. He knows everyone in the business. The man is a walking living encyclopedia! * Fred Sirieix *Buncey is back with another book. Buncey has the knowledge and he’s forgotten more than most people in boxing know. * Prince Naseem Hamed *I’ve known Steve for many years from the very start of my career and I’ve always liked and respected him. Always having a laugh with a great sense of humour and he has a great knowledge of our sport. my late Dad Enzo would also always speak highly of him. A great guy! * Joe Calzaghe *I’ve known Big Buncey for almost two decades and have gotten to know him more recently as a work colleague. There’s nobody I’d rather listen to reminiscing of the greats. The current greats and the greats of the past. His knowledge on the sweet science [of boxing] is second to none. * Carl Frampton *You know it’s a proper fight night when Steve Bunce is in town! A first-class broadcaster and journalist. He’s been there, done it and pretty much seen it all. * Eddie Hearn *Steve is an old school boxing historian who knows that much about boxing he simply has to write books about it. He understands how the minds of boxers tick, I know this first hand. From my amateur days right though to chinning my last victim in front of 80 thousand fans at Wembley Stadium Steve Bunce was on the whole journey. I’m proud to call him my good friend. * Carl Froch *
