About this listen

Hangin’ Tough is a collection of essays and short stories that celebrate boxing.

Jawed Akrim, a lifelong scholar and fan of the noble sport, answers an individual question with each essay or story. The question-and-answer format engages readers and encompass a variety of topics, such as:

  • Was there ever someone more intimidating than Mike Tyson?
  • Were people scared to fight Muhammad Ali?
  • Has a boxer ever been so nervous that they didn’t leave the dressing room?
  • Who would win in a match between Sonny Liston and Rocky Balboa?
  • What was the most unrealistic thing that happened in the Rocky movies?

Filled with colorful personalities - such as boxers Muhammad Ali, Canelo Alvarez, Sonny Banks, Trevor Berbick, David Bey, Joe Louis, and many others - the audiobook also highlights trainers and other sports figures with a connection to the ring.

Prepare to be shocked, amazed, and even horrified as you take a walk on the wilder side of boxing history.
