Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. This is a harrowing and inspiring story of a boxer fighting for more than a title. Andy Till was the youngest of nine children and suffered years of physical and mental abuse at the hands of his parents. He started boxing at 11, the same age at which he started working on a greengrocer's stall. As an amateur boxer, he had 122 fights and was an ABA finalist.

He also fought for a European title and was just one fight away from a world title shot.
