He also recounts for the first time his high-profile, acrimonious split with Barry McGuigan in devastating and revealing detail.Frampton speaks openly and passionately, not only about boxing, but about his country, how far it has come and the problems it faces. This is a uniquely intimate account of a true modern-day sporting great and a local hero like no other.
