About this product

Product Information

Kevin Lueshing's tears fell freely as he lifted boxing's coveted Lonsdale Belt. Weeping openly at ringside, Lueshing had just won the fight of the year. But his tears were not tears of joy. They were the stain of a sinister secret he had kept hidden for a lifetime. The former British champion was living the dream. People called him The Look'. But behind the glory and the glitz, Lueshing's innocence had already been butchered, his hope crippled and his soul shattered. For the first time, he has rediscovered the strength and courage of a champion to tell his harrowing story. The Belt Boy is a completely true account of a brutal life kept hidden. Shocking, explicit, traumatic, Kevin's autobiography exposes a hideous crime and its utterly devastating legacy. He writes: I risk being judged, but I never want anyone to suffer what I went through. That is my motivation for writing this book. Kevin's account of childhood abuse is truly shocking and disturbing. Like a true champion, he has displayed incredible strength and bravery to reveal the horrific ordeal he suffered. His book needs to be read so we may all stay alert to this evil crime - NIGEL BENN

  • Heartbreaking

    As a friend of Kevin Lueshing, I was intrigued to hear his story. I was also a victim of appalling physical and mental torture by my mother. She facilitated sexual abuse by her friends which started when I was just 5 years of age. So many dreadful memories flooded back. The book has had me in tears many times. I put it down and think I can't read this any more, but I cannot ignore it for long. Despite the horror, I know there must be a brighter future. When I have the courage, I will start reading again. It's hard to believe this incredible experience and how close it is to my own upbringing. I have tried to hide my own experience but this story has laid it bare. I must read it. I feel a compulsion to read it and hope it helps to soothe my own wounds. Kevin is a good man but I was not aware of his juvenile experiences. It's a tough read but vital.
