Introduction
 From
the boxing booths of the Rhondda to a World Title fight against Joe Louis
at Yankee Stadium. This is the rags to riches story of one of the bravest
men to enter the ring. After making his fortune in America, the war and
a series of personal tragedies left him penniless. With a young family
and mounting debts there is only one way out. It's the only thing he knows.
At the age of 37 he only has one option, to get back into the ring.
This new musical by Mal Pope is due
to reach theatres in 2007. You can follow its progress here.
