    Hey everyone.

    I haven't been able to find any Boxing magazines here.

    Is there a good place to buy them over the internet, and which magazines do you personally prefer?

    Boxing News is the best hands down.

    It also keeps posting my opinions in the Opinion Poll :lol:

    Eh? Almost all WHS will stock Boxing Monthly and Boxing News.

    BM > BN

    Boxing News is really good value if you get it on subscription, about £2 an issue.
    However unless you are into amateur boxing or simply need a boxing fix each week, Boxing Monthly is probably the better option.
    I get both :nut
    Used to get boxing digest as well, that was a great american paper but unfortunately it's now folded.
    Ring is shite, dinae bother.

    Yep. Concur with Skellington. Get yourself a subscription, saves a lot of hassle. You can do it through their website.

    Yep, BN subscription works out much cheaper than buying it in the newsagents each week :good

    Don't get BM regularly but whenever I do it's a good read. They've got some great writers.

    Boxing News is good if you want to know about far afield fights and the amatuer scene but if you just want mainstream/British then BM is for you.

    The Ring is awful nowadays, so don't bother.

    It's not that good for them really. As someone who follows what some would class as "obscure" fights very closely it's a bit frustrating when they get less than a paragraph in BN.

    More than they get in other publications I suppose, but still........:conf
