Abandoned on the streets of Philadelphia at age four, Matthew Saad Muhammad (1954-2014) survived orphanages, street gangs and prison to become one of the most exciting prizefighters of boxing's Golden Age of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Time and again he battled back from the brink of defeat to win against the best fighters of the era. His victory over Marvin Johnson for the WBC Light Heavyweight Championship was described by one veteran boxing writer as the only fight he covered where it seemed both fighters might die. He fought not just for wealth and fame but to discover his identity--he had no idea who he was, where came from or what happened to his parents. This book reveals the full story of "Miracle Matthew" and how he became one of Philadelphia's great ring legends.
Ezzard Charles: A Boxing Life traces Charles' early life in a small country town all the way to his fights with Jersey Joe Walcott, Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano during the wild, glamorous and wonderfully dirty business of boxing in the 1950s, one of the sport's last Golden Ages.
