Mama's Boy: Lennox Lewis and the Heavyweight Crown

Mama's Boy: Lennox Lewis and the Heavyweight Crown

by Gavin Evans (Author)

Synopsis

LENNOX LEWIS likes to present a cool exterior. World heavyweight champion, the most successful British boxer of all time, his country's richest sportsman, and yet after two decades in the public eye he remains a reclusive enigma. But beneath the dreadlocks and behind the shades is a highly competitive, opinionated and passionate man who has experienced deep emotional pain and isolation along with all the elation of triumph. Mama's Boy is a compelling story of wild success and dismal failure, of love and hatred, betrayal and affirmation, of Britain and America, Canada and Jamaica.
