About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Some people are born to be sports stars. I wasn't one of them. I was born to be . . . actually what was I born to be? Probably, like most Asian kids growing up in the late Nineties, a doctor, or a teacher. At a push I might have been a cricketer. A boxer? Come off it! No Asian lad did that sort of thing.

Hanging up my gloves has given me the opportunity to reflect not just on my career but on who I am and the kind of person I want to be. Whoever that is, I just hope they get a few less slaps to the face!

Boxing has only ever been part of the storyline. Whether it be death threats from Al-Qaeda, gunpoint robbery, family fallouts, marriage to a New York socialite, three kids, a reality show, a money pit wedding hall, or walking through a flood and earthquake devastated Pakistan, I'm struggling to think of a quiet day. That means a lot of lessons hard-learned - and you'll notice that I try to pass a few on here.

I've become a teacher after all!

It was very interesting to hear first-hand about the rollercoaster journey of one of our most famous athletes. Amir was very open and held nothing back. A great read

A very interesting and candid account

The intro is done by Khan, but the rest has someone else doing the narration. They did a pretty good job of it and have a similar accent which makes it read like you're listening to Amir Khan.

Amir rarely gets the recognition for being one of the best British boxers, but if he he had a Ring IQ and Fight IQ to match his speed & power, he would have been unstoppable. He was one of the few who would have given Mayweather a run for his money.

There are times in the book which can be a little frustrating. Amir has a lot of excuses for his losses, and never really takes any responsibility. I am sure a lot of what he is saying is accurate, but it would have been nice to hear him just accept defeat.

The way Amir Khan views himself compared to others is interesting, but fighters need that ego to survive in boxing.

overall, it is an interesting book and I grew up with Amir Khan Olympic era, and met him 15 years ago, and he was a real gentleman. Fans of Amir will like this book a lot, but be prepared for some disrespectful views towards his opponents..

Great insight into of the best British boxers

Decent enough way to spend one of my excess tokens but far too short and no real story telling. Being honest - I found it Interesting but boring

Too short

It was a slow rid. Some parts were very interesting and others, not so much.

Decent read
