Question
Hi there Alan!!
I read a book recently called 'The Power of One' which highlighted the many skills and tactics that are needed to make up a good boxer. I wonder if you could recommend any other good literature that will help me find out more about this awesome sport.  

Answer
Hi Carsten,

I personally haven't read the "Power of One", but There is a TON of literature about boxing available.
