Herbie Hide with Graham Maclean : Herbie Hide Nothing But Trouble My Story First UK Edition 1st Impression Published By John Blake Publishing London 2009. This is a Fine Copy of this hardcover book in original black cloth with gilt title lettering to spine in a Fine Dust-Jacket.

One of Britain’s outstanding boxing talents in recent years, Herbie Hide is one of the only two fighters from the U.K. to twice hold the world heavyweight title. From his humble beginnings in Nigeria, Herbie has overcome the odds to become one of the most recognizable and exciting stars of his sport. His explosive style has seen him knock out all but two of his opponents, while his willingness to meet dangerous fighters head-on has also been cause for one or two dramatic defeats. Herbie’s combative style has earned him the nickname of the “Dancing Destroyer.” Outside the ring, Herbie is nothing if not combustible. His tear-ups at press conferences with Michael Bentt and Danny Williams have made the headlines, as has his treatment at the hands of Audley Harrison at the York Hall in London. His colorful life outside of the rings has seen him run up against gangsters and conmen and more than one brush with the long arm of the law, while his family life has been blighted by tragedy with the loss of his younger brother through leukemia. Here, Herbie tells it as it is, about the early days as the only black kid in a Norfolk boarding school, his short by successful stint as an amateur pugilist, and his career-defining fights against some of the toughest opposition the international boxing world could muster. He’s not always been Mr. Popular, but everybody wants to know about him. This is his explosive story.
