His grandfather, Terry Downes, nicknamed 'The Paddington Express', was a boxer and held the world middleweight title for a time in the 1960s. James is a comedian, writer, actor, and podcaster who has spent most of his life actively avoiding being punched in the face. We chat about how the book came about, the life and times of a world champion, how James has had to deal with certain issues in his own life, and lots more.</p><p><br></p><p>You can get The Champ and The Chump at your local independent book shop, from all the big online retailers, and as an audio book – which might be good for those of you listen to the podcasts. We also have a</p><p>couple of signed copies to give away too.</p><p><br></p><p>For ways to get the book, go to: <a href=\"https://linktr.ee/jamesmcnicholas\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://linktr.ee/jamesmcnicholas</a></p>","author_name":"arseblog.com"}
