Paul Cupitt has spent much of the last four years writing a book about Australian boxing, and that book is available for purchase.
The book is about Jack Carroll who is one of the unsung heroes of Australian boxing. At the height of his career, Carroll was the second most popular athlete in Australia behind only Don Bradman, yet he is so little known that he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. Carroll's story also intersects with other Australian boxers Ambrose Palmer, Fred Henneberry, Ron Richards and Jack Haines and they produced a golden age of Australian boxing and brought popularity back to the sport.
The release date is 20 May, but the book can be pre-ordered on Booktopia, Book Depository and Amazon and will be available at many other online retailers.

Fammo By Johnny Famechon and Frank Quill
Fammo rediscovered By Mike Ryan www.fighter-online.com
Boxing historian Gary Luscombe made a find. In an auction lot was a bundle of brand new 1971 'Fammo', the Johnny Famechon autobiography. "Unread, unsold, still wrapped in bundles. Never hit the shelves of a bookstore. Sat in a box at the back of the bookstore for nearly forty years."
A joint venture with Gary and Fam is having the books signed by the 1969 world champ. To obtain this gem for your shelf inquire at Garyluscombe@hotmail.com.
Luscombe was an amateur welterweight at the Sandringham gym when Earthquake Carter trained. Buying his first boxing book, a Bev Will 'Fighter Lady', started something in Gary. Thirty-five years on he has over 700 volumes.
