sweetfightingman

Sweet Fighting Man (Ring of Truth) is based on a collection of interviews with British Boxers, from journeymen to champions. The book covers a timespan of over 50 years and features some classic boxing personalities, such as Dave ‘Boy’ Green, the ever-popular British and European champion who challenged for world titles against Carlos Palomino and Sugar Ray Leonard, Bunny Johnson, the first ever black British heavyweight champion, and Joe Somerville, the jovial journeyman who had literally thousands of fights in the lurid environment of the boxing booths.
