Mickey Duff has been at the top of the fight game since the early 1950s, when as a 15-year-old he cunningly side-stepped the British Boxing Board of Control to acquire himself a promoter's licence - by law a licence could not be issued to anyone under 16.
This autobiography investigates the professional evolution and enduring influence of Mickey Duff, one of the most significant figures in British boxing history. Duff chronicles his trajectory from a precocious teenager who circumvented regulatory age restrictions to secure a promoter's license in the 1950s, to his eventual dominance over the sport's landscape. The narrative provides a detailed account of the complex business mechanics, high-stakes negotiations, and personal rivalries that defined his decades-long career in the fight game.
