The Boxer

Nikesh Shukla

Told over the course of the ten rounds of his first fight, this is the  story of amateur boxer Sunny.

A seventeen year old feeling isolated and  disconnected in the city he’s just moved to, Sunny joins a boxing club to  learn to protect himself after a racist attack.

He finds the community  he’s been desperately seeking at the club, and a mentor in trainer Shobu, who  helps him find his place in the world.

But racial tensions are rising in  the city, and when a Far Right march through Bristol turns violent, Sunny is faced with losing his new best friend Keir to radicalisation.       

A gripping, life-affirming YA novel about friendship, radicalisation and finding where you belong.
