Mark Allen Baker

Canastota, New York, at the epicenter of Upstate New York’s rich boxing heritage, is home to the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Having produced some of boxing’s most prominent pugilists, including Carmen Basilio and Billy Backus, the area has also hosted many legendary fighters, including Jack Britton, Harry Greb, Sam Langford and Tommy Ryan. Many boxing dreams have come true here through title fights and epic ring rivalries. Author Mark Allen Baker tells the story of those thunder gods of the ring and the fights that made them famous, finally settling the score: Canastota is Title Town, USA.
