Sweet Fighting Man 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 personalities,
such as Dave 'Boy' Green, the ever-popular British and European
champion who fought for world titles against Carlos Palomino and
Sugar Ray Leonard; Bunny Johnson, the first black British
Heavyweight Champion, and Joe Somerville, the jovial journeyman who
had literally thousands of fights in the lurid environment of the
boxing booths. Boxers are fundamentally entertainers and each
chapter in this book is an individual performance, giving the true
flavour of the characters involved. Their thought-provoking
reflections proffer a unique insight into the often rollercoaster
life of a professional boxer. The interviewees also talk about many
aspects of their lives away from the ring and, as they drop their
guards and open their hearts, they deliver plenty of laugh-out-loud
moments along the way.
