'Absolutely loving the bookI can't put it down. One of the best books about sport I've ever read. It's great.' -- Matt Forde Comedian, comedy writer and TalkSport presenter 'This is an enthralling behind-the-scenes account of a bygone sporting era.' Shortlist "Riveting. It's like I'm back there on a sat night with my family, watching the bloodlust. Brilliantly written." -- Phil Williams Radio Five Live 'Shetty painstakingly spoke to the fighters, their respective teams and many of the integral people involved to capture the scene of the fight nights excellently. The way in which he introduces the reader to each of the boxers personalities in fine detail from their adolescent youth through to maturity early on in the book sets the tone perfectly. Shetty takes the reader through an amazing journey that started inside a tent in Finsbury Park North London in May 1989, and ends tragically on cold night at White Hart Lane Football on September 21, 1991. Highly informative and well written.' -- Clive Bernath secondsout.com
