Book Description Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Hardback. SIGNED. Foreword by Reg Gutteridge. Tommy Farr was one of Britain's most respected sportsmen, and was arguably the finest heavyweight British boxer of all time. A man of true courage, his life story is inspiring. From the extreme poverty of his childhood in the Rhondda Valley when he peddled goods from a handcart, to the glory days in the boxing ring when he fought the great Joe Louis, his life was a battle. He left the mines and the fairground boxing booths to seek his fortune in London and there he had to fight to get fights. Never forgetting his Welsh roots, he went on to enjoy the high life in pre-war London and New York, where he mixed with other celebrities and was mobbed by fans. But then, after his retirement to Brighton, he faced bankruptcy from property ventures and betting businesses until, at the age of 37, he was forced into an astonishing comeback to support his beloved family. Meticulously researched and told with insight and affection, this book is compelling reading and includes superb descriptions of the epic contests between the wars which evoke all the drama of the boxing ring.
