A biography of boxer Freddie Welsh, pound for pound one of the best fighters in history, who after a life of tough fights, big money, and associations with actors, playwrights and gangsters, died young and broke in a squalid hotel room in Hell's Kitchen.
Bywgraffiad y paffiwr Freddie Welsh, un o'r paffwyr gorau erioed yn ôl ei bwysau; ar ôl bywyd o ymladd garw, arian mawr, a throi mewn cylchoedd dyrchafedig, bu farw'n ifanc ac yn dlawd mewn ystafell salw yn Hell's Kitchen.

"I find the story of his struggle to the very top of his profession fascinating, and it's a shame his career isn't more widely celebrated. He climbed as high as Tommy Farr for example, yet he's hardly known and his shorter life seems fuller. Also his meetings with Scott Fitzgerald and his involvement in The Great Gatsby are enlightening. "
