The press release stated the following:
"Boxing superstar Sugar Ray Leonard was a hero to many Americans in the
70s and 80s. An Olympic gold medalist, multi-world boxing champion, and
the heir to Muhammad Ali's boxing crown, Sugar Ray was also the face of
the sport just as television became the essential cultural medium. But
the public persona of "Sugar Ray" was one carefully crafted by the man
himself, and for the first time, Leonard reveals the man outside the
ropes in THE BIG FIGHT. In this unflinching and inspiring autobiography,
one of the greatest boxing legends in America finally faces his single
greatest competitor: himself. A hero to so many, the beloved athlete
also waged his own personal battle with depression, rage, addiction, and
greed."
Sugar Ray Leonard said, "I Hope to see you there!"
