THE LITERATURE OF BOXING
WHY COLLECT BOXING BOOKS?
"THE SWEET SCIENCE"
THE COLLECTOR'S VISION
HISTORY WRITTEN IN LEATHER & INK
Boxing's literature spans nearly four centuries — from 18th-century London instruction manuals to modern biographies of the sport's greatest champions. These books capture technique, culture, drama, and the lives of legends.
CONDITION GRADING
Every book graded described with its condition, i.e., Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair. Poor. No inflated descriptions, no surprises when it arrives.
SAM LANGFORD BIOGRAPHY
A comprehensive study of boxing's most overlooked legend, the Boston Tar Baby.
WANT LISTS

Carefully packed and dispatched wherever shipping is available.
THE DEALER
ABOUT CLAY MOYLE
I've been collecting, buying and selling boxing books and other boxing memorabilia for the past four decades, including many rare and out-of-print boxing books and magazines. I'm located in Puyallup, Washington. My passion for the sport's written history began in childhood and evolved into a lifelong mission to preserve, collect, and connect boxing books with the readers who cherish them.
We have thousands of titles spanning hardbacks, softcovers, as well as magazines, programs, autographs, posters, artwork, photos, and other memorabilia. Prizefighting Books serves collectors, historians, researchers, and fans worldwide. Every item is personally described without embellishment.
If you're building a boxing library, hunting a specific title, or simply want to browse boxing books and other memorabilia — this is the place for you.
Boxing has produced more great literature than any sport I know — and yet so much of it disappears. My aim is to keep it in circulation, in the hands of people who care about it.
