Ian Probert

After a 25-year break from writing about boxing I decided in 2015 to return to the sport, temporarily at least. The decision was prompted by depression caused by the death of my father. Boxing had been one of the few things that connected us.

The result is 'Dangerous', in which I meet up with figures from the boxing world whom I have not seen for almost a quarter of a century. In doing so there was laughter and there were tears. The eight months that I spent writing the book ended up being one of the most important periods of my life. Strangely enough, these meetings with boxers provided a kind of therapy for me.

Please read a free excerpt from 'Dangerous' and watch the video trailer.
