"London based Ben Doughty is a rare breed of boxing purist – a multi platform aficionado and known figure within the fight game. A former open class amateur boxer and Repton coach, he is a unique hybrid of fighter, coach, mentor, manager, pundit and writer. A well-travelled former street musician and father of 2, Ben is a full time ‘boxing man’ and has conversed with and interviewed such giants of the game as Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Mike Tyson and Roy Jones. Over the years, his work has been featured in boxing related publications like Fighting Fit and Boxing Monthly and on the website of social media powerhouse, Boxing Social. Ben has also appeared in various films including ‘Run Fat Boy Run’, ‘Bloody Lip’ and ‘Breaking Britain.’ ‘Drink, Drugs, Birds & Boxing’ is his first book. He lives in Hoxton and currently divides his time between personal training, interviewing, broadcasting and writing."
