Boxer Handsome
“A genuinely impressive debut. Boxer Handsome does everything great fiction should…revealing a world that most people will never even think about. If you can`t see what it is that people need from boxing, or why it somehow persists into the 21st century, then read this.” (Guardian). Boxing runs in Bobby`s blood. His Irish dad was a boxer. So was his Jewish grandfather. Yanked up by their collars at Clapton Bow Boys Club, taught how to box and stay out of trouble. So Bobby knows he shouldn`t be messing in street brawls a week before his big fight with Connor `the Gypsy Boy`, an Irish traveller from around the way. They`re fighting over Theresa: a traveller girl with Connor`s name all over her. But Bobby`s handsome, like his dad; boxer handsome. For Bobby, the ring is everywhere and he can`t afford to lose.
