George Cooper (the lesser known twin brother of Henry who fought under the ring name of Jim) was a talented boxer in his own right.  This is the first time his career has been properly documented and the chapter reveals many little known facts about him.  George’s career was blighted by a tendency to cut, a broken ankle and a bout of scarlet fever.  By the time he was able to string a series of wins together, Henry was British, Empire and European Heavyweight Champion.  George would never fight his brother, so he retired and became Henry’s trainer, helping him defend his titles several times.  George is a charming character and he eases the reader into the book smoothly.
