Former professional boxer Wayne Barker fought every man who ever challenged him. This brutally honest account of his eventful life recounts how he was left in the care of the travelling community, where he learned to fight, how he was charged with attempting to murder a child killer, and how he fled to America. Eventually deported to Britain, he served two years in prison before returning to the streets to earn a living from bare-knuckle fighting, until cancer claimed his life in 2012.
