Glyn Rhodes MBE has devoted his life to boxing. Since wandering
into the world-famous St Thomas' gym in Sheffield as a
directionless teenager, he has spent more than 40 years working
inside and outside the ropes. Cognisant of how this hardest of
sports both saved and brutalised him, he is now ready to tell his
story. Rhodes' reflections offer fresh perspectives on the likes of
Naseem Hamed, Johnny Nelson, Herol Graham, Clinton Woods, the
British Boxing Board of Control, plus his complicated relationship
with the iconic Brendan Ingle. He reveals how boxing lifted him
from his childhood on Sheffield council estates to royal
appointments and financial security. Yet ultimately, the sport that
gave him so much nearly broke him, causing him to seek psychiatric
help. As boxing continues to attract both support and condemnation,
Rhodes' story shows how the sport's defenders and detractors suffer
the same delusion. You cannot truly love or hate boxing, because it
is such different things, at different times, to different people.
