Description

1928 Tom Heeney entered the ring at New York's Yankee Stadium in front of 46,000 spectators wearing a Maori cloak. He was about to fight world heavyweight champion Gene Tunney. This book follows the life of one of New Zealand's most colourful sports personalities from a labourer's cottage in Gisborne to the nightclubs of Broadway, to fishing in Florida with Ernest Hemingway.
