FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas Press has published And the New…, the latest compilation of articles from boxing writer Thomas Hauser. The book brings readers into the dressing room with fighters like Manny Pacquiao and Sergio Martinez in the moments before the year’s biggest fights, exposes the inner workings of HBO Sports, and delves into the economic realities that drive boxing today. There’s a look back in time at the incomparable Henry Armstrong, and much more.

Booklist said of And the New…, “If there’s an award for boxing journalism Hauser hasn’t won, it’s probably not worth winning. Hauser has covered the sport for more than 30 years, and, of course, he reports on the fights themselves, but, like the late, great Jim Murray, he realizes the people are the story. … For years, Hauser has supplied the best of boxing journalism, and here he’s done it again.”

Thomas Hauser is the author of 43 books, including eight highly regarded books from the University of Arkansas Press. His first work, Missing, was made into an Academy Award-winning film. He later authored the New York Times-bestselling Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times, the definitive biography of the most famous fighter ever. In 2004, the Boxing Writers Association of America honored Hauser with the Nat Fleischer Award for Career Excellence in Boxing Journalism.
