Boxing is understood through a set of pervasive and powerful narratives that are insufficiently challenged in popular and academic encounters with the sport. We ask contributors to this collection to critically examine the narrative misconceptions and tropes of boxing, to expand the narrative resources of the sport by drawing upon diverse disciplinary perspectives on the sport.
