Publisher Notes
Considered the best sports photographer of the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, Charles Hoff captured the boxer on film like no other. Interwoven with writings on boxing by James Baldwin, A.J. Liebling, and others, The Fights is a meditation on the soul of the boxer, and on the body as an instrument of violence and an inspiration for art.
