PRE-ORDER NOW - THE FORTHCOMING BIOGRAPHY OF Junior Witter - 'The Avoided'Â written by Jamie Boyle (Despatching March 2026)
Foreword by Johnny Nelson MBE 🥊
'The Avoided', is ultimately an incredibly fitting description loop of Bradford's Junior 'The Hitter' Witter. A brash, stylish, elusive, hard-hitting switch-hitter who was a nightmare for his opponents. Always a man of few words, 'The Hitter' did his talking in the ring.
Whether you loved or loathed him, it was impossible to ignore him, he was quite possibly British boxing's most misunderstood fighter of his generation.
This exclusive biography reveals how Junior went from a curious 10-year-old, who only got involved with boxing because he could hit people and get away with it, to a great competitor who went on to complete the sport at every level as a professional.
Read about Juniors career under the guidance of the great Brendan Ingle, becoming Floyd 'Money' Mayweather's no.1 mandatory and of course why the mega-showdown with long-term rival Ricky Hatton never came off.
In boxing, there is always a good guy and a bad guy, and Junior was boxing's favourite pantomime villain!
Junior Witter & boxing = Completed it mate!!!
