Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional boxing in the UK during the 1980s & 90s was dominated by the big time promoters & managers Mickey Duff, Harry Levene, Jarvis Astaire and Terry Lawless and their BBC television contracts, until Frank Warren came along and challenged the establishment backed by ITV. Next on the scene was Barry Hearn with his SKY connections and amongst them arose Frank Malony backed by the fruadster financier Rodger Levett. This book is not about them but instead is the story of a small time boxing stable and fighters striving for success and trying to beat their opponents and the system. A boxers record is more than a simple win-loss or draw and this story presents the alternative view.
