    Your review is just a rumor at this point. "10%"--? You are hereby obligated to buy 3 copies as a penalty for such an unconscionable request.

    Forgot to click on submit! Should be fixed now. What's next in the pipe line ? Chuck Wiggins?

    I have a 3k-word one ready on Sam Langford. Trying to get it in a mainstream magazine. "The Sun" has it now and I'm hoping they take it.

    Wasn't Chuck Wiggins known as a bit of a legend as a streetfighter?

    Ordering a hardcopy of this. If anyone has missed the YT promo of this I recommend checking it out.

    Wiggins was said to be a street fighter par excellence ,as a boxer he later became something of a Big Boy Peterson,ie a body who could reliably be expected to ,"do his duty", in return for," being given the call".He became a client for the likes of Carnera,but when fighting for real he was a tough cookie to overcome.

    Thank you. The book trailer is just a minute long. The song and the film clip that begin it are both from 1919:
