Hats, Handwraps and Headaches is the inspiring, surprising and
sometimes shocking story of Irish boxing coach Paddy Fitzpatrick, a
failed pro boxer who was almost a Foreign Legionary before finding
fame as a trainer of world-class fighters. After struggling as a
young adult and attempting suicide, Paddy's life was transformed by
a chance meeting with Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach. Paddy
moved to LA to learn his trade at Roach's Wild Card gym, working
with the likes of world champions James Toney and Laila Ali, and
spending time with Laila's legendary father Muhammad Ali. Back in
England, Paddy used the things he had learnt to take George Groves
to three world title fights, including the return super-fight with
Carl Froch, which drew 80,000 fans to Wembley Stadium. Filled with
astonishing anecdotes - like the time Paddy took shots from a
Heavyweight contender and a near-miss with a grizzly bear - Hats,
Handwraps and Headaches is funny and poignant in equal measure,
with riveting tales from both sides of the Atlantic.
