    • "It was intended to be a novel to celebrate my granddad's culture and background, which moved through his experience as an amateur boxer in East London. It became less about him and more about a present-day currency of young, male violence in London, with a love story that ran through its middle. I wanted to test and explore an old, coded idea of machismo against the sharper, colder aggression of contemporary London. I was interested in what attracted men to boxing, then and now – and the function, duty and care it offers."
