Description

Born to Box: The Extraordinary Story of Nipper Pat Daly Nipper Pat Daly was a boxing prodigy like no other. Born in 1913, he began his career at just ten years old after moving to London. His exceptional talent quickly propelled him to the top, with victories over grown men and national champions by the age of 14. Daly's remarkable career spanned over 100 professional fights, during which he beat three British champions, a European champion, and fighters from Italy, Belgium, and Germany. Despite his impressive record, Daly was forced to retire at just 17 due to reckless overwork. This book tells the story of his unique career, life, and times, drawing on previously unpublished memoirs. Intriguing and tragic, Daly's story is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century boxing.
