Summary

Bristol boxing legend Chris Sanigar has seen and done it all. Here, he recalls to Tris Dixon an incredible life in boxing that saw him fight as a decorated amateur, become one of the most entertaining warriors on the scene before going on to a career as a manager, trainer and promoter that yielded a number of world, British, European and Commonwealth champions. He cut his teeth on the busy London scene, fought a number of fight of the year contenders, boxed in Africa and Australia, battled alcoholism, found God and he's suffered the deepest lows, not least when his old friend and trainer George Francis committed suicide. Sanigar is brilliant, his stories can deliver you fits of laughter or cause the tears to stream. This is a MUST listen.
