Tiga's Tale

From Trench Town to the top of the world one man's inspiring fight for meaning, dignity, and respect. Tigas Tale chronicles the remarkable life of world champion boxer Barrington Tiga Francis, who survived crushing poverty and violence in Jamaicas notorious ghettos and the insidious racism of 1980s Montreal to emerge as one of Canadas most successful professional fighters. Tigas Tale is told in the twelve rounds of Barringtons fight for the coveted British Commonwealth Title, coupled with twelve vignettes that tell his exceptional story of perseverance, faith, and ultimately, triumph, from Jamaican street urchin to quiet Canadian hero.
