It was a South African publication and not often found now-a-days.

Check the adavnced book exchange

A link to ABE can be found here.

If you don't find one on shopping on ABE try Lion Street books. Mark Williams may have one there. Mark is a nice guy but somewhat pricey and shipping from the UK costs an arm and a leg.

The late Chris Greyvenstein, was an IBRO member, and The Fighters is the best single volume history of boxing in South Africa. Book was published in 1981. Great photos, as Tosti can tell you. Biographical information on guys like Couper, Jeptha, and Laurie Stevens.
