In every city and town in Britain, there are men who have earned notoriety with their fists. Hardmen, bouncers, bareknuckle brawlers and enforcers, they are throwbacks to an age when disputes when settled in blood.In this revealing book, Julian Davies interviews two dozen of the toughest streetfighters alive, from gypsy prize-fighting champions to top martial artists, to lift the lid on their brutal world of violence, honour and respect.Through the fighters' own words, he uncovers a harrowing world of bloody gang fights, brutal reprisals, pub brawls, and even deaths.
