To add to the list, I don't think anyone mentioned the Miles
Jacoby series by Robert J. Randisi. Jacoby fights as a
middleweight under the name of Kid Jacoby and also is a
licenced PI. The first book is titled Eye in the Ring. I also
have a copy of the third Jacoby book titled The Steinway
Collection where the PI is hired to track down a stolen
collection of pulp detective magazines. Anyone read either
one?
Peter Lovesey's The Detective Wore Silk Drawers is about
illegal bare-knuckle boxing in London. The decapitated body
of a pugilist is pulled out of the Thames and Scotland Yard
handles the investigation.
