Produktinformationen zu „Bareknuckle (ePub)“
As bareknuckle fighting is poised to steal MMA's spotlight, its greatest modern-day champion tells his story of rising to the top in the brutal sport.
Steeped in the tradition of his Irish Traveller ancestry, Bartley Gorman also embraced its dangerous subculture: bareknuckle fighting. Though it gave birth to boxing as we know it today, the sport has remained underground-and illegal in most developed countries. But that didn't stop Gorman from rising through the prize-fighting ranks of Great Britain and Ireland and staying undefeated for twenty years.
Now, through Gorman's thrilling memoir, readers get a front row view of the punches exchanged in back parking lots and fair grounds, the gritty characters populating the fight circles, and the hazards facing a sought after champion. "A rare glimpse into a secret world," Bareknuckle celebrates one man's mastery of fighting in its purest form and heralds the rebirth of one of the oldest combat sports in history (The Independent on Sunday).
