Autorenporträt
DECCA HEGGIE grew up on a council estate in Carlisle. Glue sniffing and football became a means of escape from the bullies that plagued his childhood. Until that is, he discovered that he was a natural-born fighter. Having hammered all his tormentors, the die was cast. Working as a doorman in his late teens, he met - then lost - the love of his life. Cocaine addiction eased the pain but fuelled bouts of depression and random violence. Unlicensed boxing led to bare-knuckle fighting and two BKB heavyweight titles. Then, in 2016, Ricky English offered him a shot at The Guv'nor Title - the chance to cement his legacy as a true great of the hardest sport of them all.
