Publisher Description
When Carl Froch defeated George Groves in their Wembley Stadium re-match in front of 80,000 fans, it went down as the biggest fight in British boxing history, cementing Carl’s place as our greatest boxer – a pure warrior who has never accepted the easy way.
Carl grew up a tough kid on a Nottingham estate, where boxing helped to keep him out of trouble. His incredible natural ability soon led to a world amateur medal before he turned pro and embarked on a long journey with his mentor and corner man Rob McCracken.
Carl’s career has always been defined by taking on the odds with blisteringly tough fights. He was never scared to fight in someone else’s backyard and always faced the hardest opponents to prove himself – Jean Pascal, Arthur Abraham, Andre Ward, Lucien Bute and his incredible last round knock-out of Jermain Taylor.
But of course he will always be remembered for his showdowns with the great Dane Mikkel Kessler and then George Groves, avenging his initial points defeat by Kessler and finishing Groves for a second time with one of the greatest punches in British boxing history.
Froch was first a local and now a national hero and here he tells the story of how he fought his way through sheer guts and determination to the summit of the boxing world.

A GOAT CONTENDER
A great book. I had my reservations, as I have read a lot of boxing autobiographical books and I never thought of the Cobra as being one of the best middle/super middleweights. I was wrong, his achievements are there to read. This book has changed my opinion and I’m now a converted Cobra fan. His story ranks with the best of them, including Sugar Ray Leonard.
Brilliant
Am not his biggest fan but am a major boxing fan and had some great nights watching Carl Froch and what he done for British boxing is rated high along side the best if your a Carl Froch fan this book is for you and even just a boxing fan well worth the read
