Champion boxer Kellie Harrington has teamed up with Roddy Doyle to write her first autobiography.
In the book, the Olympic gold medallist will tell the story of her sometimes troubled childhood, her unlikely rise to greatness, and her continuing commitment to living a normal life – which in her case has involved deciding to stay amateur as a boxer and keeping her job part of the household/domestic staff team at a psychiatric hospital.
The star of Portland Row says there was ever only one writer that she was going to turn to, to help her tell her story.
