    Noticed a long awaited biography on Jimmy Wilde has been released almost 100 years since his final fight.

    Historians still widely consider Wilde the greatest flyweight ever.

    The book tells his story, in and out of the ring including how he became a global boxing superstar in an age before the internet and even television.
