University of Warwick Amateur Boxing Club

My novel has finally been published! A perfect Christmas gift for any reader from 11 to 111. A must read for young boxers!

My pen name is Nicky John. I cannot use Nick Griffin as it is the same name is the leader of the BNP!

Strength of the Lion, Cunning of the Fox
Strength of the Lion, Cunning of the Fox is a brand new novel. One of the motives of the author, Nicky John is to encourage girls to take up boxing. Nicky John is the pen name of a very experienced boxing coach
Kayleigh Goodman has been repeatedly bullied in school. Even when she moves to a new secondary school to escape the bullying, a new gang of bullies, Natasha Harrison and her ‘crew’ begin to make Kayleigh’s life a misery. Whilst being chased by this gang of bullies she stumbles into a boxing gym. Terrified at first, she reluctantly stays in the gym and enjoys the training session.
She takes to the sport like a duck to water and she learns how to fight back. Eventually Kayleigh takes part in real boxing matches. Initially locally, then in Liverpool and in London, but can Kayleigh win a gold medal at the prestigious Harrington Box cup? Follow Kayleigh on her journey into boxing and see just how she learns to combat the bullies...
