Reseña del editor:
"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.
