With cameo appearances from Frank Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti, Pink Floyd and the Philadelphia mafia, Frank and Fearless is the unflinchingly candid and hard-hitting memoir of Britain's most famous and influential boxing promoter. In his long-awaited autobiography, he reflects on the battles he had to win to reach the top and remain there, not least the battle to stay alive after he was shot at point-blank range in an attempted assassination in 1989. However, while he declares “I know with cast-iron certainty who it was”, he seems not to have shared this perhaps crucial information with, say, the police.But it was the struggle to break the stranglehold with which a few key promoters ran the boxing business that really made Warren's name. The confessions were thought-provoking, funny and weird, touching on every aspect of human experience and revealing much about the state of modern life, and catapulting PostSecret to the status of global phenomenon.

Superbly illustrated throughout, this book is a great conversation piece, fascinating to flick through, and almost unputdownable once you have. From his humble beginnings in North London, he has created a multi-million-pound business empire as one of the UK's most high-profile promoters, staging shows that have featured some of the world's biggest names, such as Frank Sinatra. But there are digressions aplenty, such as a night out in London with Frank Sinatra (Warren promoted his dates at London Arena, the ill-fated venue he co-owned), where, still in his stage clothes, ol’ blue eyes became ol’ red eyes after drinking a whole bottle of Jack Daniel’s. p>Read about how we’ll protect and use your data in our Privacy Notice.
