'Journeymen' (2014) exposes the inner workings of UK boxing by telling the stories of ten boxers who lose for a living. The reality they expose is far from that understood by most fans. It was met with critical acclaim, longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year and named as one of the year's best sporting books by The Guardian.
'Wiped Out?' (2015) tells the story of Sheffield light-welterweight Jerome 'Wipeout' Wilson, who suffered a major bleed on the brain after being knocked out.

It has been named 'book of the year' by American website www.boxing.com.
