Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Hardback. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED. Foreword by Sugar Ray Leonard. Dave 'Boy' Green was one of the most exciting British boxers of the previous 30yrs. After an amateur career of over 100 fights, he turned professional in 1974 under the guidance of Andy Smith, and within 2yrs captured the British and European light-welterweight titles. Born at Chatteris in the heart of the Fenland region of Cambridgeshire, Green was a throw-back to the days of another local favourite, Eric Boon. Inspired and encouraged by the former lightweight champion, he thrilled packed arenas with his aggresssive, two-fisted brand of fighting, and burst onto the scene at a time when Fenland folk were desperate for a big sporting hero. In 1977, at the peak of his career, Dave fought magnificently against world champion Carlos Palomino, only to be knocked out in the 11th round with the fight in the balance. Undeterred, he re-grouped, won the European welterweight title, and in 1980 again unsuccessfully challenged for the world title, this time in the United States against American superstar, Sugar Ray Leonard. Although Green had a magnificent ring career, this book is not just about boxing. It is an insight into the life of a man brought up in a humble farming community, who through sheer hard work, also became a highly successful businessman and provided a wonderful life-style for his family.
