CARL
FRAMPTON MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY with PAUL D. GIBSON
The fearless, fast-paced
autobiography of World Title winning boxer and Belfast hero Carl
Frampton, 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.
