Hard Road to Glory: How I Became Champion of the World

By Johnny Nelson

A self-confessed coward, boxer Johnny Nelson hoped his opponents wouldn't turn up, failing twice at his chance to take the world title. He relates his moving, funny, frank, and inspirational story--an amazing odyssey from chump to champ--in this autobiography that includes drugs, gangsters, and a terrifying plot to kidnap him. Johnny Nelson's story has a universal appeal that goes beyond fight fans as a straightforward, honest account of overcoming personal fears and terrible setbacks to become the best in the world.
