I've been working on The Last Bell for a long time but, finally, it's done. You can read about it here & pre-order a copy https://t.co/XLWVs7TiPX. Out in March, this is my last boxing book.
Thanks @kelley_AK for the majestic painting on the cover and to all at @simonschusterUK

Martinelli on for Cunha when you’re looking for a winner is laughable.
