A brutally honest account of boxing from Glyn Rhodes MBE, a man who has devoted his life to the sport.
Since wandering into the world-famous St Thomas's gym in Sheffield as a directionless teenager, Glyn Rhodes has spent more than 40 years working inside and outside the ropes. Cognisant of how this hardest of sports both saved and brutalised him, he is now ready to tell his story.
Rhodes' reflections offer fresh perspectives on the likes of Naseem Hamed, Johnny Nelson, Herol Graham, Clinton Woods, the British Boxing Board of Control, plus his complicated relationship with the iconic Brendan Ingle.
As boxing continues to attract both support and condemnation, Rhodes' story shows how the sports' defenders and detractors suffer the same delusion. You cannot truly love or hate boxing, because it is such different things, at different times, to different people.
