Into the Woods provides a sharp insight into the true motivations
of fighting men. Rather than dealing in cliche, hype or the myth of
the 'noble art', former world light heavyweight champion, Clinton
Woods, lays bare the culture that surrounds his sport. From meagre
beginnings in a large family, on Sheffield estates decimated by
Margaret Thatcher's attacks on the steel industry, to booze, drugs
and tussles with the law, Woods had chaotic and bloodstained
origins. Having boxed as a junior, he returned to the ring in his
20s, seeking change. On a pro journey that eventually saw him trade
blows with Roy Jones Jr, Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver, he
confounded naysayers to win every title from domestic level to
world. Along the way, he mixed with some of the most fascinating
characters of his era. Woods's integrity, honesty and refusal to
surrender forged his success. Seven years into his retirement, he
has time to reflect. Into the Woods asks whether those who come
from violence can ever really leave it behind.
