Paul Harris leads a sheltered life. The son of a wealthy southern Ontario winery owner, his suits and cars are paid for, his career in the family business assured. But after a vicious beating shakes his world, he descends into the realm of hardcore bodybuilders and boxing gyms, reveling in suffering and seeking to become a real man.
Rob Tully, a working-class teenager from upstate New York, is a born-boxer. He trains with his father and uncle, who believe a gift like his can change their lives for the better. But he struggles under the weight of their expectations, afraid of his own ability to inflict pain and of ending up a washed-up and damaged old fighter.
Their disparate paths lead to The Barn, an underground bare-knuckle fight venue where vicious and hopeless men brawl for cold hard cash. No rules, no limits. When two fighters step into a ring where anything goes, sometimes only one walks out.

‘This gripping novel sees two men dive perilously into a violent underworld – a world that very quickly threatens to rip them both apart’ Maxim
‘Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk and Irvine Welsh all rave about Davidson, with good reason. The Fighter is a brutally honest and explosively powerful novel. Examining masculinity in a startling way with visceral prose, it’s truly remarkable writing’ Big Issue
A blistering coming-of-age novel from one of Picador's brightest young talents
