The upcoming fight with Sandro Siproshvili in Cuxhaven on March 6 wasn’t the only thing on cruiserweight Herbie Hide’s mind at the press conference today. The former two-time heavyweight champion is also celebrating the release of his autobiography.
The book, aptly titled “Nothing But Trouble”, tells the story of Hide’s upbringing in Norwich, England and his time in boarding schools in Norfolk after arriving in England at the age of ten, before detailing his roller coaster boxing career and his numerous escapades outside of the ring.
“My book tells it like it is,” says Herbie. “Lots of people bring out a book, but nobody has a story like mine. I’m the original bad boy. Everything is in there.
“You’ll laugh and cry when you read it. I’ve been through so much in my 37 years and my life really has been nothing but trouble, as the title says.
“But I haven’t finished yet because now I’m going to beat Siproshvili and then go on to be world champion for a third time.”
