Svensk Proffsboxning (Professional Boxing in Sweden) is the name of a compendium put out by Olof Johansson, commentator and writer with decades as editor for Boxning, the Swedish trade paper. Included is a list of every show staged in Sweden and abroad with Swedish interests along with other statistics as well as comments. An interesting sidenote is that the compendium is being sent to every member of the Swedish Parliament. Professional boxing in Sweden is prohibited since 1970.
