The Legend is the remarkable autobiography of Steve Ward, the world's oldest ever professional boxer and a multiple Guinness World Record holder.

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.
