Area of Expertise
Interviews, long-form features, columns, and investigations
Interests
Attended an amateur fight card in an old barn in 1996. I started attending pro shows in 2000.
Career Background
I freelanced from 2001 to 2006 and started full-time with Boxing News in 2007. However, as a freelancer I was living and breathing it and working well beyond full-time hours. I started boxing in 1995 as an amateur and fell in love with it there and then. I was welcomed into my amateur gym, made to feel part of the community and managed to find some self-respect and confidence. Boxing does that to you, and that’s a significant reason for doing what I do, along with having so much respect for what fighters put themselves through to actually fight.
Awards & Honors
Inducted into the British Boxing Hall of Fame; shortlisted for William Hill Sports Book of the Year (Damage: The untold story of brain trauma in boxing), Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year (Warrior: A champion’s search for his identity), Daily Telegraph biography of the Year (War and Peace, Ricky Hatton’s autobiography); Boxing Writers Association of America Award winner with multiple placings and honorable mentions.
