About the author
Bohun Lynch (1884–1928) was an English writer and illustrator. Public information about his life is limited; the only confirmed work by him is Knuckles and Gloves. Judging from the title and subject, the book deals with boxing and belongs to sports writing, possibly covering boxing techniques, match accounts, or anecdotes about fighters. According to extant bibliographic information, Lynch's style lies between reportage and the personal essay, with attention to detail and scene-setting that gives readers a glimpse of boxing in the early twentieth century. Although his output was small, this work remains a useful text for the study of early boxing culture. His other experiences, education, and professional activities await further documentation.
