Author Bio
Alan Mortlock is a boxing trainer and promoter based in the East End of London. He is known in the sport as the 'Pirate Promoter' because he champions the cause of unlicensed boxing (i.e. not recognised by the British Board of Boxing Control). Alan's surprising other life is that of a committed evangelist, and he heads up the Godfellas, a group of tough East Enders who travel the country presenting their boxing skills and sharing the Gospel.
