Nothing but Trouble: My Story

One of Britain's outstanding boxing talents in recent years, Herbie Hide is one of only two fighters from these shores to twice hold the world heavyweight title. His story is one of a constant struggle to stamp his mark upon a world he's often felt at odds with. From his humble beginnings in Nigeria, Herbie had overcome the odds to become one of the most recognisable and exciting stars of his sport. His explosive style has seen him knock out all but two of his opponents while his willingness to meet dangerous fighters head-on has also been cause for one or two dramatic defeats. Herbie's combative style has earned him the nickname of the 'Dancing Destroyer'. Love him or hate him, there's no denying he's a man who packs one hell of a punch... Here Herbie tells it as it is. He's not always been Mr Popular, but everyone wants to know about him. This is his explosive story...

Herbie Hide is one of British boxings' most colourful characters. Nigerian-born, his family moved to Norfolk when he was a child. As heavyweight he held the British titles and twice won the WBO Championship of the World. He currently resides in Hamburg, Germany.
