About this deal
Neither are boxers Barry McGuigan (“another who disappointed me”) and Chris Eubank, whose reputation Warren destroys with one hideous anecdote, while Frank Bruno’s ex-wife Laura is “an absolute pain”. Recently acquired by Little, Brown Book Group, Constable publishes a diverse range of bestselling fiction and non-fiction titles. On one level it’s the gritty saga of the rise of a Labour-supporting plucky young buck from an Islington council flat, albeit a plucky young buck with sufficient underworld connections for a Crimewatch special. Along the way, Warren has been assaulted in a hotel room by the formidable Mike Tyson and gone toe to toe in a court room with his erstwhile partner, the flamboyant Don King. Frank has, however, weathered a number of financial storms in his turbulent career, not least one that followed the shooting incident that almost cost him his life.
More recently, Warren masterminded Mike Tyson's challenge to Julius Francis, which caused another storm of publicity.
However, boxing is only part of the story that begins on a council estate in 1950s North London, where Warren first learnt how to stand up to bullies.

The story of my life would be a bloody sight shorter if the man who tried to murder me outside the Broadway Theatre in Barking on a winter's evening in 1989 had succeeded.
