Journeymen tells a story that is often purposely ignored - that of
the modern-day boxers who lose for a living. Far from huge purses
and pay-per-view hype, the book lays bare the reality of the boxing
business and the way it works in small-hall venues countrywide.
October 2013 saw the 100th and final fight in the career of East
London's Johnny Greaves, remarkable in that he won only four
contests. He took fights at short notice, facing young prospects
with the implicit understanding that he was not there to win.
Journeymen features in-depth interviews with Greaves and other men
who have similarly served the fight game, including Kristian Laight
(180 defeats), Jason Nesbitt (178) and Daniel Thorpe (113). Though
sometimes dark, their tales reveal humour, wisdom and sporting
pride: the journeymen eschew glamour, make the best of what they
have and face the world with a smile and a wink.
