The Legend - The story of the world's oldest professional boxer
The Legend is the remarkable autobiography of Steve Ward, the world’s oldest ever professional boxer.
It details the astonishing obstacles Steve has overcome to become a three-times Guinness World Record holder after taking up the sport he loves again at the age of 54.
Steve's unstinting ambition is driven by a promise made by his late father Bernard, who introduced him to boxing and told allcomers his son would be a world champion.
His story is an inspiration to anyone who has hit hard times and proof of the old adage that all things are possible.
A very serious foot injury sustained in a freak accident at work eventually led to Steve planning to kill himself before he bounced back to confound the medical profession and win the admiration of the world’s oldest professional boxing champion George Foreman, who rang to congratulate him on taking his own Guinness World Record.
