White Collar Boxing: One Man's Journey from the Office to the Ring - Hardcover

-Don King, legendary boxing promoter

"Just when you thought everything about boxing had been written, along comes this magnificent book by John Oden giving us a different view from a different pew, one as seen through the eyes of the white collar boxer. White Collar Boxing is deserving of a place on all boxing--no, make that all sports--fans' bookshelves."
-Bert Randolph Sugar, Boxing Hall of Fame writer
