Wiped Out? is the groundbreaking, wonderfully human story of Jerome Wilson, the Sheffield boxer who suffered terrible brain injuries in a fight in September 2014. Written by Jerome with Mark Turley, this inspirational diary of a fighter’s return from the brink shines a light on boxing’s ultimate taboo.

This Saturday evening, 12th September sees the launch of the book at Waterstones in Sheffield city centre. Jerome and Mark will both be available for interview, will be talking about the book and signing copies – it’s free, and everybody is very welcome! (Please see event details below.)
