AB This work is a research throughout the relationship between boxing and literature. Its main goals consist on a new perspective about the literary phenomena produced by the boxer and boxing as literary figure and theme respectively, as well as an inquirement, comprehension and manifestation of such a comparative approach. From a generic point of view, throughout the sport and physical activity, including the historical point of view as well as the different speeches interpretated by the Human and Social Sciences, to help create a contextual frame. This allows us an introduction into the boxing as sport and also as a literary theme. Therefore, from a thematics point of view, an extensive corpus of narrative literary works in Spanish from the 20th and 21st century is employed for this matter and from the biographical and sports journal genre as well, thus, settling the historical and literary perspective in the narrative of sports. This historical exercise allows a kind of treatment in the observation of the narrative of boxing, proving itself not as an isolated phenomena, but as a characteristical and universal writing tradition. From a set of literary works in this matter, there is a selection related to the Spanish and Hispanoamerican literature of which conform the content for the interpretation of this phenomena. For such an analysis, a set of tools from the literary theory and critical mythology, as a multidisciplinary approach, is arranged, for concepts from sociology, philosophy, politics, economy and others operate in this research. Hence, this interpretative methodology grants the possibility to show and prove, on the one hand, the works of literature are bound to the mythical hero’s journey speech and the peculiarity of that journey’s failure in which those goals are missed. On the other hand, hereby such failure is considered to be linked to the decline of the individual in the capitalism inside the mechanism of a culture of progress and success, driven by promises of richness and power which, often, never get fulfilled.
