Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As a lifelong boxing fan, I found 'A Ringside Affair' an absolute gem. Lawton's firsthand accounts of the sport's most iconic moments are priceless, and Bentinck's narration is nothing short of exceptional. He expertly captures the personalities and intensity of each fight, from Ali's charismatic trash-talk to Tyson's menacing growl. The pacing is spot-on, building tension and releasing it with each bell ring. My only critique is that some of the historical context could have been woven in more smoothly, but overall, it's a must-listen for anyone who loves the sweet science.
