Description A one man play written by Jimmy Flint who was the Wapping Assassin in real life. This fast paced show charts the rise of an East End boy brought up in rough circumstances and easily turns to crime. He learns to box at the age of 10 and serves time in borstal. He becomes a light weight champion - leaving his precarious past behind. The story brings to life perverted prison officers, big time fighters, sleazy gangsters, and the sweat and the thrill of the boxing ring. The play climaxes at the fight of his life, at shot at the title.
