The Boxer Description
Told over the course of the ten rounds of his first fight, this is the story of amateur boxer Sunny. A seventeen year old feeling isolated and disconnected in the city he's just moved to, Sunny joins a boxing club to learn to protect himself after a racist attack. He finds the community he's been desperately seeking at the club, and a mentor in trainer Shobu, who helps him find his place in the world. But racial tensions are rising in the city, and when a Far Right march through Bristol turns violent, Sunny is faced with losing his new best friend Keir to radicalisation.
A gripping, life-affirming YA novel about friendship, radicalisation and finding where you belong.
On the back' of The Boxer
Every bruise tells a history.
Every cut tells the story of us.
Every punch says why our friendship was doomed from the start.
Sunny never thought he'd set foot in a boxing gym. But he never thought he'd have to leave London for a new city, either. Or that he'd get beaten up by racists there.
When Sunny steps into Easton's Gym in the aftermath of the attack, he rinds the community he's been desperately seeking and a relationship that helps him heal. But racial tensions are rising in the city, and when a Far Right march turns violent, Sunny is forced to make the hardest choice of all.
