My Fighting Life is an autobiography written by Georges Carpentier, a French boxer who was one of the most popular sports figures of the early 20th century. The book chronicles Carpentier's life from his childhood in Lens, France to his rise to fame as a world-class boxer. Carpentier discusses his early years as a street fighter and his eventual entry into the world of professional boxing. He also provides a detailed account of his most famous fights, including his 1921 match against Jack Dempsey, which was dubbed The Fight of the Century. Throughout the book, Carpentier offers insights into the world of boxing and the challenges he faced as a professional athlete. He also reflects on his personal life, including his relationships with his family and his experiences during World War I. My Fighting Life is a fascinating look at the life of one of the greatest boxers of all time and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the sport.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
