'If I want to know anything about the history of Welsh boxing, Gareth Jones is my man. Delighted he has produced another book in his Boxers of Wales series - particularly as it includes someone I will always have a soft spot for, Lennie 'The Lion' Williams, who had two epic battles in the 1960s with Frankie Taylor and Howard Winstone.' Colin Hart, Boxing Columnist, The Sun; 'The Selby boys are here. Amateur glory, world title, so much talent. But once again it is a fighter that only the purest of fans can recall who catches the eye. This time it is Wee Willie Davies, a world-class flyweight, born near Maesteg, who moved to AmericaSteve Bunce, Broadcaster and Journalist as a child and met nine world champions. Welsh boxing, British boxing and even world boxing owes Gareth a great debt.'
