The road to nowhere : a journey through boxing's wastelands / Tris Dixon. by Dixon, Tris, 1979- Pitch Publishing, 2014. Call #: 796.83 D6212r Subjects Boxers (Sports) -- United States -- Biography.   Boxing -- United States -- History -- 20th century. ISBN:  9781909626522 (hc.) 190962652X (hc.) Description:  319 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color) ; 25 cm. Summary:  A trip across America to track down great fighters. In the era of boxing's pay-per-view superstars, Tris Dixon invested in a Greyhound bus pass and spent several months traversing America, tracking down fighters from yesteryear who had vanished from the limelight. Venturing from New York to Las Vegas and from Toronto to Miami, the young writer, himself a former amateur boxer, sought out coulda-been-contenders and cult heroes from the 1950s to the 2000s, all now faded from popular memory. He visited old people's homes, gyms, and too many prisons, discovering that life after boxing can be a cruel place when the ropes are no longer in place to keep fighters safe from the outside world. Dixon meets men who shaped boxing history, fighting the likes of Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, and Mike Tyson. He shares their memories and weaves together their forgotten tales. Tris Dixon is the editor of Boxing News. He lives in Salisbury, Wiltshere.
