Released on February 25th, the anniversary date in 1995 on which Nigel Benn and Gerald McClellan staged one of the most explosive battles ever seen in a professional ring, a fight so brutal that the British Medical Association led immediate calls for boxing to be outlawed. In the tragic aftermath, Gerald was left completely blind and severely disabled. In the space of thirty violent minutes, he had been transformed from world conquering athlete to depending on the 24/7 care of his devoted sisters.
The following years brought endless controversy. There was a volatile dispute with promoter Don King, public family feuds, an FBI investigation, a suicide attempt, ever mounting medical expenses and furious allegations that Gerald had been involved in a vicious underground dog-fighting ring. Through it all, his sister Lisa stayed loyal at her brother’s side.
Here, British author Wayne Lettice Lennon tells the true and definitive story of the G-Man, one of the most ferocious men ever to put on a pair of gloves. With exclusive input from Lisa McClellan and Gerald’s fellow professionals, this is more than a boxing story. It is a true life fable of love, loss, deceit, devotion and redemption all rolled into one.
Note: The paperback version book will be available to purchase on Amazon on/or around the 25th Feb 2018, ISBN 978-1-912543-02-1.
