The cover features Joe Louis and Jersey Joe Walcott which set the stage for a return bout on June 25 1948. After a difficult first fight which many believed Walcott won Louis won by a knockout in the second bout. This issue provides a lot of information on Joe Louis including a detailed account of his ring earnings. Perhaps the significance of this contest was that it would be only the third time in history that two African Americans would fight for the heavyweight title. However boxing’s' color line was not as rigid as some other sports and by the late 1940s there had been several African American world champions. The Ring Inc., books

2016br. Lui è Johann Trollmann (1907-1943), pugile sinti nella Germania nazista, il più bravo di tutti, ma c'è un particolare: è uno zingaro. La vita di Johann comincia subito di corsa, da quando, bambino, scopre la boxe e sale sul ring portando con sé i valori e la tradizione della sua gente, e guadagnando strepitose vittorie, una più emozionante dell'altra, con il pubblico (soprattutto femminile) in visibilio. Ma uno zingaro non è come gli altri tedeschi: come può rappresentare la grande Germania alle Olimpiadi del 1928? Le strade del successo ben presto gli vengono sbarrate, il clima politico peggiora, il nazismo travolge tutto, anche la sua vita e quella della sua famiglia. Non importa che Johann sia il più bravo, il titolo di campione dei pesi mediomassimi gli verrà negato, nonostante la vittoria sul ring. Da quel momento la sua vita diventa impossibile: prima il divorzio cui è costretto per salvare la moglie e la figlia, poi la sterilizzazione, la guerra cui partecipa come soldato e infine il campo di concentramento e l'ultima sfida, quella decisiva, contro il kapò, che vincerà, e per questo sarà punito. Con la morte. Dario Fo, grazie a una ricerca di Paolo Cagna Ninchi, ancora una volta recupera una vicenda vera e dimenticata. Solo di recente la Germania ha riconosciuto il valore e l'autenticità di questa storia consegnando alla famiglia Trollmann la corona di campione dei pesi mediomassimi negata a Johann ottant'anni prima.

2015br. La vita non è mai stata gentile con lui. Un'infanzia difficile nel quartiere Stadera di Milano lo porta a un'esistenza dura e disperata. Un padre violento, che picchia moglie e figlie. Nessuna prospettiva. Nessuna alternativa. La sofferenza, la violenza e infine la droga e l'alcol, come uniche, illusorie vie di uscita. Trova da solo la forza per tirarsi fuori. Prima il lavoro, poi la palestra, poi la passione. E una nuova vita, sul ring e fuori. Oggi combatte ancora ai massimi livelli. "Fino all'ultimo round" racconta questa storia, la storia di Giacobbe Fragomeni: vera, drammatica, avvincente e carica di speranza.
2016ill., br. "Gladiatori" parla dell'umanità; dell'umanità impazzita; di quell'umanità impazzita che affolla le palestre di pugilato, i palasport. Sudore, sangue, nasi rotti, aspirazione al dolore, la marcia furiosa dei sacchi da boxe, il rullare di corde in uno scantinato: peso e altezza, vittorie e sconfitte sono le misure certe di una verità di carne che fuori dal ring non può essere attinta. Autore fra i più significativi della letteratura italiana contemporanea per la maestria con cui inocula la finzione nella verità di una presa diretta sul reale, dimostrando così all'inverso il nodo dolorosamente vero di ogni costruzione finzionale, non importa quanto elaborata, quanto formalizzata, Antonio Franchini si accanisce sul proprio stile e rivela l'opprimente insufficienza del linguaggio, in ciò portando alle conseguenze estreme la regressione di certo verismo: è infatti nelle zone in cui il linguaggio si disarticola e il silenzio riempie come magma le fenditure che si inoltra Franchini; nelle zone in cui - di fronte all'uccisione casuale di un pugile - lo stile non può che azzerarsi, la parola ridursi alla fonazione di un cronista, la frase a una voce protesa nel vuoto. Ring e letteratura questo infatti condividono: sono spazi chiusi, delimitati dalle forze opposte della stilizzazione e della sofferenza, della sconfitta e della vittoria, della farsa in agguato e di un reale sempre inseguito, soltanto sfiorato.
