'Australian national women’s champion Mischa Merz had reached the age of forty-five and was about to give up boxing altogether when she decided to give it one last go in the USA. In less than two years of training and fighting she found herself the American master’s champion. This is the story of that improbable late run — and success when she least expected it, and most wanted it. Merz brings her readers into the gym and the arena — starting with the iconic Gleason’s in New York, then other boxing meccas in Florida, California, and across America — to witness first-hand the surprising, frustrating, irresistible world of women’s boxing.'
