Book excerpt: The biography of James Tillis, a champion boxer who was ultimately broken by the ring itself and the people who controlled it. His fearlessness was legendary as was his gentleness. Written whilst serving a prison sentence, this is the story of how he came to battle seven heavyweight champions, how he was to enter the ring 64 times, his fights with Tyson and Earnie Shivers, and perhaps more poignantly, how the sport he loved sacrificed him, robbed him of the women he loved, his fortune, his dignity and his title.
