About The Author
Adam Smith
Adam Smith is one of Britain’s most recognisable sports broadcasters and storytellers. A feature writer for The Ring, and a leading commentator for DAZN, TalkSport and The Voice of Boxing, Adam has spent a lifetime chronicling the triumphs and tribulations of the sporting world.
As Sky Sports’ Head of Boxing, Smith planned and fronted the coverage of some of the most iconic events in modern boxing, from Ricky Hatton’s electric nights in Manchester and Las Vegas to world-title epics like Anthony Joshua’s thunderous clash with Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium that defined an era. After being asked to do so by Ricky’s family, Smith gave the eulogy at his funeral in October 2025 at Manchester Cathedral, paying heartfelt tribute to one of his dearest friends.
This is his second book. It follows Adam’s acclaimed debut Beautiful Brutality, for which he was shortlisted for Best New Writer at the British Sports Book Awards. Ricky himself wrote the foreword to Beautiful Brutality.
