Tales from the Top Table

The hard-hitting, personal stories shared by some of boxing''s biggest names are presented in a series of short, sharp features in Tales from the Top Table. Seventeen world champions are among the main attractions. Delve deep into the psyche of the famous fighting men and relive their experiences in the ring - the good, the bad and the ugly. There are many fresh and surprising stories included here, as these memorable anecdotes about the fighters'' lives and times were originally intended only for the ears of those in attendance at the Bar Sport in Cannock - and could easily have stayed that way. The bar''s upstairs Premier Suite holds just 300 people but countless sporting idols have passed through its doors, helping to put the Staffordshire town on the map. Now Craig Birch''s exclusive notes on Bar Sport''s after-dinner speakers put you right in the room. Every chapter is packed with the unique stories and inside information from boxing''s beloved aficionados. Foreword by Richie Woodhall, former WBC super-middleweight world champion.
