An autobiographical white-knuckle ride around the global fight game by the legendary Steve Bunce: the voice of the sport who is celebrating four decades of writing and talking about boxers and boxing.

'This book captures the magic of the sport - the glory and the heartache.' Ricky Hatton'Steve and I go way back, all the way back. He has been ringside at all my fights, from national amateurs all the way to Wembley stadium. He is the only reporter who could have ever got close to that lift in the Garden.' Anthony Joshua'Bunce is a walking talking boxing library, and is not frightened to say what he thinks and says. I've enjoyed many nights and many fights with a true legend of the game.' Tyson Fury'Buncey has forgotten more than most people in boxing know.' Prince Naseem Hamed'He's been there, done it and pretty much seen it all.' Eddie Hearn***In Around the World in 80 Fights, let 'the Voice of Boxing' take you on the ultimate sporting odyssey: to the rings of New York, to the makeshift rings of Bukom in Ghana, to the riches of Las Vegas, and to Riyadh, Atlantic City, Bethnal Green, Mexico City, Rome and Berlin.

To the basement rooms in dingy pubs where old fighters chase the last round; a bullring in December under the stars; a small square on the outskirts of Naples with a ring obscured by a fountain; the abandoned centre of boxing excellence in a forest lost in East Germany; a railway arch in south London and a bin-bag packed with cash. Let 'Buncey' tell you about the conversations with Mr. T at ringside; a meeting with the Pope's people; the thoughts of Donald Trump when he had plans to make boxing great again; Don King in exile in his nineties; an overheard conversation with Fidel Castro; and a very real diplomatic incident. The hard conversations with a dead boxer's mother in the hour after a machine had been switched off. The bravery, stupidity, guts, desire and glory of the boxers in the world's most famous and unknown rings. They fought for millions, for pride, for their country and for nothing. They bled, cried and died in those rings.

Around the World in 80 Fights vividly reveals the simple, wonderful and truly awful business of boxing. It is Buncey's business and this is his story.

***'Steve has a great knowledge of our sport.' Joe Calzaghe'Bunce captured the madness in Memphis around the fight with Tyson... the behind-the-scenes story of the Bruno fight and was there from York Hall to Las Vegas.' Lennox Lewis'His love and enthusiasm for the sport is infectious.' Katie Taylor'Steve understands how the minds of boxers tick.' Carl Froch'Steve's knowledge on the sweet science of boxing is second to none.' Carl Frampton

Amazing Men Watch
Color: black watch 76
I recently purchased the Olev men's watch, and I’m very impressed with its quality and design. The watch looks elegant on the wrist and feels durable, with a comfortable fit for daily wear. The timekeeping is accurate, and the materials feel premium for the price. It’s perfect for both casual and formal occasions. I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone looking for a stylish and reliable accessory.

A nice daily watch
Color: red watch for men 76
This watch does look good in person, however, I bought it an extremely discounted price. The band is the same generally accepted, plastic-like band you will find in less expensive watches but it's bright color makes it stand out. The mini dials on the watch face do not move, so I personally would not pay over $100 for any similar watch. (It's original asking price was near 3x's that). I'm happy with it, which is why I still gave it 4 stars. At a low price, I would buy this in other colors to match my outfits.
