    Belfast’s Carl ‘The Jackal’ Frampton MBE is no ordinary boxer. One of only three fighters from the British Isles to be named the Ring magazine Fighter of the Year, he has headlined sellout world championship bouts on both sides of the Atlantic, winning multiple world titles in the process. His dedicated army of fans have traversed the globe to be ringside throughout it all.  
    But Frampton’s popularity far exceeds the traditional adulation for a sporting icon; he is regarded as a symbol of hope and unity by both sides of the sectarian divide in Northern Ireland.  
    In this captivating autobiography, Frampton reveals the most personal aspects of being a fighter: the fears and doubts, the exhilaration and devastation, the friendships and animosities. He also recounts for the first time his high-profile, acrimonious split with Barry McGuigan in devastating and revealing detail. Frampton speaks openly and passionately, not only about boxing, but about his country, how far it has come and the problems it faces. This is a uniquely intimate account of a true modern-day sporting great and a local hero like no other.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    From Ancient Arenas to Digital Fields: The Evolution of Sports Through the Ages is a sweeping journey through the history of human competition, play, and physical expression. Tracing the path of sport from its ritualistic beginnings in early human societies to the dazzling world of esports today, this book explores how games have always been more than just recreation. They have been windows into culture, identity, politics, and the human spirit itself. 
    The story begins in the ancient world, where contests were rituals intertwined with spiritual life, survival skills, and community celebrations. The Greeks carried this vision further with the Olympics, merging athletic excellence with ideals of harmony, discipline, and divine honor. Rome added grandeur and spectacle, transforming sport into a mass performance staged in colossal arenas, where gladiators, charioteers, and emperors used entertainment as a tool for both unity and political power. 
    Moving into the Middle Ages, the book explores the martial sports of knights, jousts, and chivalry, alongside the rough folk games played in village squares. These events reveal how sport both reflected and shaped social order, from feudal loyalties down to peasant celebrations. The Renaissance and early modern eras introduced rules, codifications, and the beginnings of clubs that would transform chaotic pastimes into recognizable sports, laying the foundation for modern professionalism. 
    The Age of Empires and colonial expansion carried games across borders, introducing cricket, football, and polo to far-flung corners of the world, where they often became symbols of both imperial power and subtle resistance. By the nineteenth century, professionalism took root—clubs, leagues, and international teams turned sport into an institution that began to dominate cultural and national identities.
