Biography: general; History; Travel & Lifestyle

IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY, THE DANK STREETS OF SYDNEY WERE CONTROLLED BY PUSH GANGS...AND NO ONE PUSHED BACK...

Ring deaths in 1893 caused a temporary ban on boxing in New South Wales and so Young Griffo, filled with confidence, headed for the states to tackle their best and found he had become extremely popular for his cleverness and entertaining way of boxing and winning.

Years past, age progressed, and old boxing fans often approached him with praise and sports journalists always rated him as one of the cleverest boxers to ever lace on a pair of gloves.

Young Griffo was a true legend of the sport, and you hold in your hands the story of how and why this vey legend came about...

Steve Hile has been interested in sports and writing most of his life and through the Young Griffo story, has been able to bring the two together. He has a diploma in sports journalism and after having published articles in newspapers, has now realized his passion in completing his first book. Steve lives in western Sydney with his wife and three children and has always been involved in sports, both competing and following. His interest was sparked by this story of one of Australia's most incredible athletes and he is excited to share the first biography on Albert Griffiths, known as Young Griffo, to be written and published in Australia.
