Book Synopsis

''To be legendary you got to have heart... Ray''s heart was bigger than all the rest'' Muhammad Ali

SUGAR RAY LEONARD was one of the greatest boxers ever. An artist and a showman he was always willing to take the difficult fight: his gruelling encounters with Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler have become legendary.

Ray''s autobiography takes you into the ring - with the mind games, brutality and euphroia. But, outside of the ring, Ray''s biggest opponent was himself. From early domestic violence and sexual abuse to a blur of fame, sex, greed, drink and drug addiction at the height of his career that cost him so much, The Big Fight is a remarkable portrait of the rise, fall and final redeption of a true fighter in every sense.
