"Jack Dempsey - The Manassa Mauler" by Randy Roberts gives a fascinating insight into the early years of the sport in the USA, "Rope Burns" by Ian Probert is great on the Modern British era, "The Pugilist at Rest by Thom Jones is a great collection of short fiction that touches on boxing, and Sam Sheridans - " A fighters heart " is a classic account of why people choose to fight in many disclipines.

"Dark Trade" is fantastic and personally i really enjoyed "Four Kings".
I second the vote on Roberts' Manassa as well as Sam Sheridan's Heart. You've ginve me two more to read in the Jones and Probert. Thanks!
