“It is not often that a modern biography ennobles not only its subject but the genre itself, but this is exactly what Mr. Century has accomplished, crafting a narrative as unsparing and inspiring as its subject.”
A powerful storyteller brings to life one of the most colorful boxers of the 20th century. Paperback release party August 8.
