Undefeated! The Joe Frater Story - Tapa blanda

"Undefeated!" is the story of Joe Frater, the first black professional boxing promoter in Britain. From a standing start in the 'swinging sixties', Joe first built up his business in the motor trade and then entered the turbulent world of professional boxing promotion. He and his family have battled against disaster and tragedy for over forty years, but in his own words, 'He's still standing' and ready for whatever the next challenge is that life throws at him. "Undefeated!" begins under the ever present sunshine of the Caribbean sea, carries us through the early years of a young and energetic immigrant, making his way in his chosen homeland and through to the present day, where Joe and his family have won the respect and admiration of friends and competitors alike, throughout Britain and abroad. "Undefeated!" is a 'must have' for any fan of Championship Boxing at all levels. This book reveals the 'nuts and bolts', of the world of the small promoters who run enormous risks to keep boxing alive in Britain.

Above all, Joe Frater is, in his own words, 'A grafter'. He set up his first business at fifteen and has never stopped since. Now close to the official retirement age, Joe shows few signs of slowing down or thinking of taking things easy. A proud citizen of his adopted home-town, Grimsby, Joe devotes his life to his family, his business and as ever, to his beloved boxing.
