A fabulous read: the ultimate story of a truly great legend
The ultimate book on the great Sugar Ray Robinson is out and has received wonderful reviews. It has been nominated as “The Sports Book Of The Year” by retailer William Hills, voted book of the month by the Daily Telegraph, and an “excellent, exciting reading” by several local newspapers.
The book is written by father and son Brian and Damian Hughes. This is Brian Hughes’s last gift to the Collyhurst and Moston Lads Club in North Manchester, England, where he has served as a voluntary coach for 45 years.
The book takes the reader back through the golden era of boxing when there were only eight weight divisions and the true craftsmen of boxing were in abundance in every division.
It tells the story of one of the greatest boxers that ever laced on the gloves, the great, magnificent Sugar Ray Robinson.
The accounts of his classic confrontations against his equally salubrious opponents in the ring are absolutely brilliant. The reader feels as if he is actually there sat in a ringside seat.
The book also highlights Sugar Ray’s battles against The Mob and cunning boxing officials. Details of his negotiating with promoters and high profile opponents are brilliantly dealt with and the book flows along superbly. “I could not put the book down once I started reading it,” said one reviewer.
This book can be ordered directly from the authors at brianhughesbooks@gmail.com for only £17.99 ($36.99) plus p+p.
