Description
Gentleman Gerry: A Contender in the Ring, a Champion in Recovery is a candid and inspiring memoir that chronicles the life of boxing legend Gerry Cooney. From his early days as an abused child to his rise as a two-time Golden Gloves champion, Cooney's story is one of resilience and determination. Cooney's professional boxing career was marked by thrilling fights and high-profile bouts, including his 1982 match against world heavyweight champion Larry Holmes. However, it was the inner struggles he faced outside the ring that proved to be the greatest challenge of all - a journey from addiction to recovery that is laid bare in this book. With exclusive photographs and firsthand accounts from Cooney himself, Gentleman Gerry offers an unprecedented look into the life of a sports icon and a testament to the power of overcoming adversity.
