Jamie Moore will be appearing along with Coronation Street, Hollyoaks and Emmerdale stars this Saturday morning at Waterstones in Deansgate, Manchester.
The signing event will mark the launch of Mooresy: The Fighter's Fighter – the life story of one of Britain's best-loved boxers. Progressing through the amateur ranks, Jamie Moore turned pro in 1999 aged 20 and went on to become British, Irish, Commonwealth and European light middleweight champion.
Mooresy will be chatting to fans and signing books, accompanied by a star-studded retinue including Cath Tyldesley and Katie McGlynn from Coronation Street, Jamie Lomas from Hollyoaks and hopefully Emmerdale's Anthony Quinlan too!
The event starts at 12 o'clock midday at Waterstones, 91 Deansgate, Manchester M3 2BW.
