It's the confidence and the exuberance that make Froch a character you'll either love or hate and despite his affiliation to Nottingham Forest ( I can look past that) the 'Cobra' came through at a time that I was really into my boxing and so reading his book that documented his career and as a fan of his, the autobiography was something I wasn't going to miss out on and nor should you, with a fascinating insight into Froch the Boxer and Froch, the person. As with many a boxer, the sport arguably kept him on the straight and narrow, being brought up in the heart of Nottingham and the book details his early life and how his family life arguably led him down the path of boxing, his Dad a tough cookie in himself, who at times dabbled with the wrong side of the law but was also handy in the ring. Living with his brothers, firstly with his Dad after the split, before moving in with his mum in his teenage years, Froch was almost lost to boxing, getting to an age where other factors came into focus but thankfully, the overriding talent that he clearly had won through.

The life of a boxer, invariably leads to an initial amateur career before hitting the pro circuit and his early days in boxing are a fascinating insight into the development of his style and his work and how boxing works behind the scenes as he moved to the professional ranks and how he came to build a solid reputation, first at national level before his clear talent and warrior like mentality came through to reach European levels as he hit his way through solid names from both Britain and Abroad. Froch's career is pretty much a who's who of the Middleweight and Super-Middleweight scene and the build-up to many of his epic fights are detailed in the book from his famous 12th round win over Jermain Taylor, his loss to Andre Ward, his epic fights with Mikkel Kessler and how he avenged his first loss to the Big Dane are all detailed. 

There is a good healthy chunk of the book proportioned to his two fights with George Groves, a man he originally respected but ultimately lost that respect for, which culminated in two of the most talked about fights in the history of the sport and still feature high on the list all these years later. Whatever anybody thinks about that 1st fight, the book continues Froch's input that the fight was right to be stopped and that Groves was not hard done by. However, that is up to interpretation, but whatever you think about that fight, the second fight saw Froch have a point to prove and a point that was certainly made.  As boxing books go, this is right up there as one of the most enjoyable and because of Froch's willingness to take on all comers, back himself and be that warrior we know he is, the book is a fascinating insight into arguably one of the finest era's in Middleweight history and why you should take the opportunity to pick up a copy of this book and read about one of Britain's best ever boxers. 

Don't take our word for it, grab the book and give it a read and let us know your thoughts!
