With contributions from more than three dozen professional fighters (including 11 World Champions), Protect Yourself at All Times will prepare any up-and-coming boxer for the challenges he will surely encounter from the business of boxing. The Protect Yourself at All Times campaign was founded by ADRIAN CLARK to further protect fighters outside the ring. The focus of this movement (and book) is to educate and inform the fighters on topics such as taxes, contracts, retirement, and guarding their money. This game-changing, unprecedented guide for professional boxers shines a bright light on a gray area in the sport.
Originally published in 1958, The Professional is the story of boxer Eddie Brown's quest for the middleweight championship of the world. But it is so much more. W. C. Heinz not only serves up a realistic depiction of the circus-like atmosphere around boxing with its assorted hangers-on, crooked promoters, and jaded journalists, but he gives us two memorable characters in Eddie Brown and in Brown's crusty trainer, Doc Carroll. They are at the heart of this poignant story as they bond together with their eye on the only prize that matters—the middleweight championship. The Professional is W. C. Heinz at the top of his game—the writer who covered the fights better than anyone else of his era, whose lean sentences, rough-and-ready dialogue, dry wit, and you-are-there style helped lay the foundation for the New Journalism of Jimmy Breslin, Gay Talese, and Tom Wolfe. And all the trademark qualities of W. C. Heinz are on ample display in this novel that Pete Hamill described as "one of the five best sports novels ever written."
A reissue of bestselling, award-winning author Joyce Carol Oates' classic collection of essays on boxing.
