No Ordinary Joe by Joe Calzaghe
Presents the story of Calzaghe's extraordinary life, from his humble beginnings in his hometown of Newbridge, to his ascent to personal greatness, becoming the first super middleweight boxer to win the prized belt awarded by The Ring, the bible of boxing, in the division's near 20-year history.
JOE CALZAGHE, winner of three consecutive ABA titles as an amateur (a post-war record) and the dominant super middleweight in the world for the past decade, was born in 1972 in Hammersmith, London, growing up from the age of two in Newbridge, Wales. After 22 fights unbeaten he successfully challenged Chris Eubank for the WBO title, before defending successfully against a host of other ex title holders before beating Jeff Lacy to cement his pre-eminent status. He has two sons, Joe and Connor, and lives in Blackwood. BRIAN DOOGAN writes about boxing and football for the Sunday Times and is the long-time British and European correspondent for The Ring. For his coverage of boxing, he was named Specialist Correspondent of the Year in the 2004 British Sports Journalism Awards. A native of Lisnaskea in Northern Ireland, he resides in Luton.
