Summary

Read by the author.

In this inspiring memoir, undefeated five-time world champion boxer Andre Ward—aka "Son of God"—shares the gripping narrative of his unforgettable career, his rock-solid faith, and why boxing was never the biggest fight of his life.

Andre Ward was the undefeated light heavyweight boxing champion of the world when he walked away from the ring and did not look back. Now that he has taken off his gloves for the final time, the Olympic gold medalist is ready to share the heartbreaking and uplifting stories of his formative years and unprecedented boxing career. Motivational, faith-building, and utterly compelling, this memoir offers

  • an inspiring story of overcoming a broken childhood
  • behind-the-scenes drama from Andre's epic championship bouts, complicated relationships with managers and promoters, and shocking decision to retire at the top of his game
  • insight into breaking destructive generational bonds, forgiving those who have hurt us, and moving toward hope
  • a challenge to live out our faith without compromise

Rich with colorful characters, fascinating detail, and biblical truths, this is the story of a man known for his integrity outside the ring, his warrior's instinct inside it, and his unrelenting bond with the God who called him to the greatest victory of all.

Legend

I read a lot of boxing autobiographies which all start well but tend to turn into this fight then this fight but this book goes into a lot more personal detail and gives a real insight into Andre Ward as a person and what it took to become a legend. Great listen

Excellent listen!

This audiobook has left a lasting footprint on my thinking. Followed Dre's boxing career for a long time so this audiobook was a great listen. The profound insights and narration by Dre enhanced the listen. A must listen for anyone regardless of their professional background!

5/5 stars

I first heard of ward from the super six days and virgil became quiet well know in the UK when he became amir khan's trainer. I have enjoyed listening, never realised Ward went through so much from a young age, very enjoyable book, highly recommended.
