Legendary boxing manager / trainer, Angelo Dundee has signed personalized copies of his new book "My View From The Corner" for participants of our events and programs. Angelo is a former boxer for the US Army and he's a patriotic supporter of our wounded veterans. He will be attending future events. His book tells a truly inspiring story of overcoming obstacles and his fight to succeed.
My View From The Corner:
Dundee, a Hall of Fame corner man who has worked alongside 15 world boxing champions, recalls his life and times at ringside with the help of Burt Sugar, renowned boxing storyteller and editor. Together they trace a corner career that has taken Dundee (born in 1923) from boxing's first televised bouts to the heavyweight pay-per-view spectacles of today. Dundee brings to the corner a unique and wide set of skills, acting as trainer, doctor, coach and psychologist all at once. Between tales of the last century's biggest title bouts, the authors provide an in-depth look at sparring, psyching out an opponent, closing and dressing cuts, the politics of weigh-ins and the science of opponent selection. Pulling no punches in this memoir, Dundee readily addresses rumors that he loosened the ropes before the Rumble in the Jungle, allowing Ali to pull off the now famous rope-a-dope victory against Foreman. Angelo Dundee has lived a half-century of boxing history. During that period he trained a record-breaking fifteen world champions and countless top contenders including Mahamad Ali, George Foremann, Sugar Ray Lenoard and many more.
