Hamilcar Publications is the book publishing division of Hannibal Boxing.
Hamilcar Publications is a Boston-based book publisher focused on the worlds of professional boxing, true crime, and hip-hop. Hamilcar’s titles showcase the work of some of the finest writers in the world, offering compelling subjects that appeal to fans of the “sweet science” as well as to readers who are passionate about great nonfiction storytelling, regardless of genre.
Subjects range from Muhammad Ali’s “hype man” Drew “Bundini” Brown to the flamboyant Puerto-Rican-American legend, Hector “Macho” Camacho, to an examination of the issue of boxing and CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), formerly known as “Punch-Drunk Syndrome.”
In addition to our focus on boxing, we are expanding quickly into true crime and hip-hop and actively acquiring titles in those categories.
