Biography of Junior Witter Launched

The biography, titled *Avoided: Junior Witter*, explores the boxing career of Junior Witter, who competed from 1997 to 2015. Witter held the WBC light welterweight title from 2006 to 2008. Jamie Boyle, who has written around 25 books, suggested the idea of a biography to Witter. Boyle's other books include titles on Lee Duffy, Paul Sykes, and Roy Shaw. The book delves into Witter's feeling of being avoided by top fighters like Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather. It examines why a potential fight between Witter and Hatton never materialized, even though it would have been a major event in British boxing. Witter, known as "The Hitter," believes the book will help people understand his achievements better, especially since he feels he didn't receive adequate credit during his career. The book's foreword is written by Johnny Nelson.
