Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2025'Thoroughly encapsulates the current state of the hurt business' Telegraph, Best Books of 2025For fifty years Donald McRae has followed boxing. As criminality and corruption spread, his love for the sport dimmed. In 2018, grieving his sister's death and his parents' illness, he turned back to boxing just as Tyson Fury's improbable resurrection proved the ring could still offer redemption.McRae takes us close to champions including Fury, Canelo lvarez, Katie Taylor and Oleksandr Usyk. He doesn't shy away from exploring huge themes doping, state repression, war and he doesn't flinch from recording the thudding hits or the heartbreak a fighter feels in defeat. And in telling the devastating story of Patrick Day, he confronts death in the ring.The Last Bell is McRae's most personal and unflinching book, a clear-eyed reckoning with life and the sport he can't let go.';Exhilarating and terrifying' Herald
