Carl Frampton: My Autobiography
£19.00£20.90 (-9%)
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 sellout 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: the fears and doubts, the exhilaration and devastation, the friendships and animosities. 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.

10/10. Im not a big reader but was hooked on this from start to finish. Plenty of funny stories from growing up to hearing about the biggest fights of his career. Provides a very honest and authentic view. The two chapters about the McGuigans and the court case were very interesting and it was shocking what happened behind the scenes. One of the best I have read in a while

Haven’t read it all but good so far
by Dave Best
The Jackal seems like a really decent bloke to me, I always enjoyed watching his fights (apart from the ones he lost). Particularly enjoyed the large chunk of the book that covered the Mcguigans which admittedly played a large part in me buying the book. Unlikely that you’ll see this review but if you do then all the best little fella ????????????
