The Legend

The Legend is the remarkable autobiography of Steve Ward, the world's oldest ever professional boxer.It details the astonishing obstacles Steve has overcome to become a three-times Guinness World Record holder after taking up the sport he loves again at the age of 54.Steve's unstinting ambition is driven by a promise made by his late father Bernard, who introduced him to boxing and told allcomers his son would be a world champion.His story is an inspiration to anyone who has hit hard times and proof of the old adage that all things are possible.A very serious foot injury sustained in a freak accident at work eventually led to Steve planning to kill himself before he bounced back to confound the medical profession and achieve his dream of winning a world title in his very last fight, at 64 years of age.
