New book out about Dominic Negus, it's called 'Into the Light'. The foreword is by Ricky Hatton and it's a great read.

I read his book years ago, good read and pretty funny, Negus is a headcase but comes across well

He does come across well, what I like about him is his lack of bs.
He has been about a bit to say the least but you don't see him giving the I could have beaten Ali on the cobbles nonsense.
He is very respectful to the boxers and you really see a fellas mettle when he is up against it. When he fought Audley, a cruiser against a big heavyweight, he really stood up to be counted.

Does anyone really want to read a book about a boxer whose only notable fight was losing a 6 round decision to Audley Harrison?

Game fella is Dom,and rough and ready and down to earth. Read his book years ago,might give the new one a read,

I doubt it's a boxing book, more about a fella who was a boxer

Yes and was beaten up by the shards of Danny Williams.

Wouldn't call him a cult figure....he's just well known in london/Essex circles,had a bit of a past & has had a few rucks,

Perry sure he got a feature on Danny Dyers ‘Britain’s hardest Men’

Bit of a misleading title, that. Should really have been "The Only Six Men in Britain Who Picked Up the Phone When Danny Dyer Called".

Be good to see something on Gary Delaney. Done a lot more in boxing, in fact he beat Dom years ago. I bet if he wrote a book it'd be a more interesting read!

how hard is big gar on the 'hard man' scale though?

like, semi hard, or raging engorged hard?

i dont know much about him

You don't get much harder, but then as a book it would be less interesting because he has spent so much time behind the door.

I don't really understand the fascination with this dude. Although it could be missing the point tbf.
