About this Item

Binding is black cloth with silver lettering on spine; 291 pages including black and white photographs. Nosher Powell is the ultimate hard man. Boxer, bouncer, minder, stunt man, he is truly a force to be reckoned with. As a heavy-weight boxing champ he was equally at home in the world of unlicensed fighting as he was in the professional arena. He sparred with such legends as Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali, learning their secret tricks of the trade, which also proved useful when he trained with bare-knuckle champion Roy "Pretty Boy" Shaw. In seventy-eight professional fights Nosher was never once knocked out. His extensive list of stunt and acting credits include some of the greatest cinema classics ever made: Henry V, Ben-Hur, Zulu, Charge of the Light Brigade, The Italian Job and virtually every Bond film. This is an amazing and exhilarating story of a man who has carved his living out of danger, and whose remarkable life is a testament to his refusal ever to take the safe, easy option. This is the story of a legend. Size: 9" x 6".
