Which is Bradford.... It won't be a hit there. Jamie Boyle always says by far his biggest sellers have been Duffy books. He is still a legend in Middlesborough.

I'd read it. I wonder how many copies some of these books actually sell. For example, can't see many outside the hardcore interested in the likes of Martin Murray or Peter Buckley. Same with Witter. None of them are household names but wonder what the break even number is for the publisher?

I will enjoy reading this. British, Commonwealth, European and WBC World Champion. That's a heck of a career. Great guy, too.

Good wins over Ndou, Kotelnik and Corley put him on the scene and the flattening of Harris was a great world title win. He was on the way up and building a big profile but losing the Bradley fight live on ITV was a big setback in his first defence.
Bradley was his third defence.

That's why many are self-published - that's the route I went down. Even then, if you produce a hi-spec, quality product at a fair price, you end up having to sell a lot to break even.

If it's well written and Witter has interesting things to say, I'm interested. Good luck to him with it.
