Description

King of the Journeymen is the gripping autobiography of Peter Buckley, a pro boxer who fought 300 times and was a 'stepping stone' for world champions such as Naseem Hamed and Duke McKenzie.

As a boy, Buckley shone as an amateur boxer, but outside the ring he was heading for trouble.

He was suspended numerous times from school and sent to prison at age 15 for assault and robbery.

Whilst inside, his father died. His life felt hopeless and seemed to be going nowhere.

But after his release he turned to professional boxing and things started to improve.

Labelled a journeyman, he fought often and lost often, whilst earning more money than he'd thought possible.

Buckley never refused a fight, often accepting bouts at a few hours' notice or after a night out.

King of the Journeymen is an inspirational tale of a man tenaciously fighting for a better life.

Although he lost more fights than he won, Buckley persevered with his career and attained widespread respect from boxers and fans alike.
