    Not sure, My laptop died and I'm using my fiancee's, still trying to work out some kinks in the web cam as well as writing a book. The youtube channel is a good idea, and something I enjoy doing, but when I make my next video I want all the kinks worked out. But at the moment I have neither the time nor energy to get it up to the standards that I want. Book first, writing articles is my break from the endless research for the book and a great promotional tool for when the book drops. I'll revisit the channel when I'm done.

    Title is "A history of Violence" I'm trying to trace the history of the heavyweight title as far back as back goes. From Aj and Fury to Ononmastos Of Smyrna the first champion of greek boxing. I'm also giving special focus on the social aspects of the rise and fall of several boxing scenes throughout history.

    With the help of @GlaukosTheHammer I have discovered a relitavely unknown boxing scene that thrived in Russia despite a church decree against it and Mongol invasions. To my admittedly limited knowledge there is no other book in english that actually covers it.

    I'm hoping to make it both E-book and print, but I don't know yet. I've been approached by a literary agent but they want to waint until I am finished writing before we really talk business. Which is good because for me the writing will always come first.
