‘On the Chin’ by Alex McClintock

Monday - Friday

12:30pm | 10:30pm REPEAT

In On the Chin Alex McClintock uses his own unlikely progress through the amateur ranks as a springboard to explore the history, culture and contradictions of the sweet science—with detours through some of its notable characters, including: Benny ‘The Ghetto Wizard’ Leonard, ‘The Boxing Barista’ Luigi Coluzzi, the immaculately named Trenton Titsworth, and the great Ruben Olivares, once described as ‘the undisputed champion of the bender and the cabaret’.

Alex McClintock grew up in Sydney, Australia, and now lives in Toronto, Canada. His writing has appeared in the Guardian, the Globe and Mail, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Monthly. On the Chin: A Boxing Education is his first book.
