Two brothers. Two fights. Glenn McCrory dreamed of becoming a world boxing champion. His adopted brother David, who lived with Friedreich's ataxia, faced a different fight every day. Their bond would give Glenn strength far beyond the boxing ring. In Carrying David, Glenn tells the story of growing up in County Durham, the setbacks and sacrifices of professional boxing, and his journey to the IBF cruiserweight world title in 1989. At its heart is the brother whose courage helped him believe he could win. Honest, moving and full of warmth, this is a story of family, loss, determination and the power of love. This 2026 revised edition includes new reflections on Glenn’s life after the original book and the extraordinary impact his story had on reader Ian Kirby.
