GET READY FOR WORLD WAR 3
THE DISTINGUISHED title of the meanest, roughest, toughest, hardest, most brutal – not to say dirtiest – fighter in Britain will be awarded to one of two gentlemen tonight.
The runner up will very likely be on his way to the infirmary, an oxygen tent, the crematorium, or at least the title role in sleeping beauty.
Colin Dunne - The Sun newspaper (Sept. 11th, 1978)
(The above was the write-up by the Sun newspaper’s boxing columnist on the day of the third epic battle between Roy Shaw and Lenny McLean.)
Setting the record straight on five decades of the most notorious title in boxing.
From its humble beginnings in London's underworld to the associations of the world’s leading boxing promoters. The dark and dangerous world of illicit boxing has created legends and myths, bestselling books, documentaries and Hollywood movies...
Now! Hear about it from the men behind the scenes….
ROY SHAW & LENNY MCLEAN had three epic battles that set London alight. They fought to be The GUVNOR. To hold the most Notorious position in the fighting world.
The most dangerous man on the planet…
Three fights that have gone down in history and created legends and cemented the Guv’nor title as royalty!
This book is about that title, it’s how it began, and the fighting breed who lost blood fighting for it.
UNLICENSED – Who’s the Guv’nor
As boxing promoters go, Joey Pyle is the best, he is a silver-tongued, charismatic, dangerous f**ker. He has the ability to hold everyone at arm's length, and you're only in Joey's company if invited. He's a good friend but a bad enemy.
WARNING! This book can seriously alter your views on the boxing world!
