James Salerno, Boxer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578142364)

James Salerno, Boxer is a hard hitting true story in the mold of a Greek tragedy, with the world of the fight game as its backdrop. It pulls no punches in describing Salerno's wars in the ring, his experiences with the women he encountered and the battles he fought with his personal demons. It also provides insight into the world of professional boxing. In addition, it examines the complex personality of a loving, sensitive white male who had the soul of a black fighter and became a rap performer known as Italian Ice after his days in the ring were over. He is recognized as the greatest boxer who never won a championship, and was inducted into the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame in June, 2014. James was murdered at the age of thirty eight, but he became a legend... and legends never die.
