Summary

A Sunday Times Best Seller

The Pull-No-Punches Guide to Life

'When your job is to stand in front of a very big man who wants to knock you unconscious, you learn what's important in life. In the ring there's nowhere to hide. I was never the biggest or the strongest but I made the most of what I had - I had heart and I had grit and I always put time into the mental game. Now it's time for you to come into the ring with me.'

Tony 'Bomber' Bellew is one of the most unmissable boxers Britain has ever produced. Whether you loved him or hated him, you couldn't ignore him. His journey from chubby kid growing up in a rough part of Liverpool to world champion is a story of willpower, resilience and dedication. Now he's here to take you inside the ring and help you understand that whatever your goals, there's plenty you can learn there.

Over 12 rounds, Tony will show listeners the world of boxing - the highs, the lows and the knockout blows. From what the boxing gym can teach us all about our strengths and weaknesses to how to hit the canvas and get back up again, this is the closest thing to having a world champion boxer in your corner.

Tony Bellew book

Well I loved it, a very honest and candid account of his career and motivation. Yes the language is fruity but I laughed and cried. I think some of the motivations are ok not always applicable to say a work environment but it was great entertainment and thought provoking. Well done Anthony

Good listen

Really enjoyed the parts surrounding the big fights, not so much the bits where Tony is basically giving advice as if he's a life coach!
overall worth a listen though
