Description

Titus and Mick kick off the wild story of Norman Selby, the boxer who gave us the phrase “the real McCoy.” From hopping trains to world champion, he invented the corkscrew punch (thanks to a kitten) and mastered trickery inside the ring. Part One sets the stage for a career as bizarre as it gets.

When we come back, Norman Selby is stepping up for the heavyweight title - one of the most corrupt championships in boxing history.
