Abstract
Jack London (1876-1916) took an interest in such sports as boxing, fencing and swimming, and he wrote some articles about boxing games. He is the first celebrated American author that got his materials from boxing. His two boxing novels are The Game and The Abysmal Brute, and his two boxing short stories are "A Piece of Steak" and "The Mexican". In this paper, we will mention those four works with special attention being drawn to "A Piece of Steak" in which London describes the contrast between youth and age.
