Colin Dunne - The Sun newspaper (Sept. 11th, 1978)
(The above was the write-up by the Sun newspaper's boxing columnist on the day of the third epic battle between Roy Shaw and Lenny McLean.)

ROY SHAW & LENNY MCLEAN had three epic battles that set London alight. They fought to be The GUVNOR. To hold the most Notorious position in the fighting world.
The most dangerous man on the planet...

Three fights that have gone down in history and created legends and cemented the Guv'nor title as royalty!
This book is about that title, it's how it began, and the fighting breed who lost blood fighting for it.

UNLICENSED - Who's the Guv'nor

As boxing promoters go, Joey Pyle is the best, he is a silver-tongued, charismatic, dangerous f**ker. He has the ability to hold everyone at arm's length, and you're only in Joey's company if invited. He's a good friend but a bad enemy.

WARNING! This book can seriously alter your views on the boxing world!
