In Volume II, Bell and Armstrong examine the revival of Sheffield boxing after the decline of the 1950s and 1960s outlined in Volume I. Instigated by two men from outside the city--Brendan Ingle and Herol Graham--this renaissance became known as the 'Ingle style, ' which between 1995 and 2014 produced four world champions: Naseem Hamed, Johnny Nelson, Junior Witter and Kell Brook. These successes inspired others and raised Sheffield's profile as a boxing city, which in the 1990s and 2000s produced two more world champions in Paul 'Silky' Jones and Clinton Woods. In this second volume, Bell and Armstrong track the resurgence of boxing to the present day and consider how the game and its players have changed over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew Bell\u003c\/b\u003e has served as editor of the Sheffield United FC magazine \u003ci\u003eFlashing Blade\u003c\/i\u003e since 1989, and, amongst other books, he is co-author of \u003ci\u003eSteel and Grace: Sheffield's Olympic Track and Field Medallists \u003c\/i\u003e(2014), with Gary Armstrong. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGary Armstrong\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at City University of London, UK.
