Summary
Warrior in Wellington Boots is an autobiography written by former professional boxer Cornelius Carr. Cornelius came from humble beginnings, where he grew up on a large council estate in Grangetown, Middlesbrough, and fought his way to success, becoming a British super middleweight champion and WBF middleweight boxing champion.
Cornelius' memoirs highlight the struggles of a young boy trying to survive in a poor working-class part of Northeastern England. The story is bittersweet, depicting tragedy, hardship, humor, humanity, love, and success. The book is honest and raw, truthfully informing listeners of the highs and lows of one man's life journey from boy to boxing champion. Fate introduced him to the world of boxing, which allowed him to take paths he thought he would never take.
You don't have to be a boxing fan to enjoy listening to this inpirational story. This autobigraphy is gritty, captivating, and soul-bearing.

Absolutely fantastic listen
Loved it from the first five minutes and right to the end. Cornelius tells us his amazing story of achievement from the humblest of beginnings in Middlesbrough. It’s great to hear how boxing helped in swerve what could have been a very different life into one of achievement, self respect and discipline. Brilliant, a must listen!

A very interesting life
I’ve always been into boxing, and this is a truly interesting listen. The back story is a worthy story in itself. The stories about going to America, dealing with promoters and the fights themselves are truly entertaining. I was so gripped by the story that I listened to it in two days.
I would highly recommend this audiobook.

Great story, great narration.
I found this very interesting, a bit of a roller coaster. Life throws us many challenging moments but they make us who we are today.
