CARL
FRAMPTON MY AUTOBIOGRAPY with Paul D. Gibson
WIth a Foreword by
Patrick Kielty
Belfast’s
Carl ‘The Jackal’ Frampton MBE is no ordinary boxer. One of only
three fighters from the British Isles to be named the Ring
Magazine Fighter of the Year, he has headlined
multiple sell-out world championship bouts on both sides of the
Atlantic, winning multiple world titles in the process. His
dedicated army of fans have traversed the globe to be ringside
throughout it all.
But Frampton’s
popularity far exceeds the traditional adulation for a sporting
icon; he is regarded as a symbol of hope and unity by both sides
of the sectarian divide in Northern Ireland.
In this captivating
autobiography, Frampton reveals the most personal aspects of
being a fighter; of fears and doubts, of exhilaration and
devastation, of friendship and animosity. He also recounts for
the first time his high-profile, acrimonious split with Barry
McGuigan, in devastating and revealing detail.
Frampton speaks
openly and passionately, not only about boxing, but about his
country, how far it has come and the problems it faces. This is a
uniquely intimate account of a true modern-day sporting great and
a local hero like no other.
