Glove affair : my lifelong journey in the world of professional boxing

Gordon, Randy (Author). Morgan, Tracy, 1968- (Added Author).

Summary: Randy Gordon has spent more than 40 years in the world of professional boxing. No one else has ever seen the sport from so many different angles and from such lofty seats. Gordon recounts never-before-heard stories of the boxing industry and offers insights into some of its most famous figures, including Hall-of-Famers Bert Sugar, Alexis Arguello, Bob Arum, and Mike Tyson. With the perspective only an insider can offer, Gordon also reflects on his times with Muhammad Ali - including the champ's mind-dazzling magic tricks and his thoughts on the "Thrilla in Manila" - and provides a glimpse into the boxing commissioner's office with stories of a wild and fiery hearing and a commission employee's betrayal of the agency. From his days as a wheelchair-bound, severely-injured boy in 1959 to the most-widely-listened-to boxing talk show host on the radio, Gordon recalls his life story with passion, humor, and love.
