Description

Bartley Gorman's life was marked by brutal battles in the world of bareknuckle prize fighting. He faced down infamous opponents Lenny McLean and Roy Shaw, refusing to back down from any challenge. But it wasn't just his fearlessness that defined him - a deep-seated need to prove himself drove him to fight, often at great personal cost. Gorman's story is one of unflinching honesty, as he recounts the highs and lows of his extraordinary life. From the streets to the ring, he shares his experiences with raw, unvarnished truth. Illustrated throughout, this book offers a unique glimpse into the world of 20th-century bareknuckle fighting. A gripping and deeply personal account, King of the Gypsies is a testament to the enduring power of human spirit.
