Bibliography	Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary	Boxing is a traditional sport in many ways, characterized by continuities in the form of practices and regulations and heavy with legends and heroes reflecting its traditional/historical values. Associations with class, hegemonic masculinity and racialized inclusions/exclusions, however, sit alongside developments such as women's boxing and involvement in Mixed Martial Arts. This book will be the first to use boxing as a vehicle for exploring social, cultural and political change in a global context. It will consider to what degree and in what ways it reflects social transformations, and whether and how it contributes to those transformations in the contexts in which it operates. In exploring the relationship it will provide new ways of thinking critically about the everyday.
