In a week that has seen 2 shocking revelations in the sport’s world (Suns President Rick Welts and former Villanova player Will Shelton both made announcements about their sexuality this week,) former boxer Sugar Ray Leonard has made an announcement of his own.
Lenoard’s autobiography, “The Big Fight: My Life In and Out of the Ring” will be released in June. The boxer details his cocaine abuse, growing up in a home with domestic violence, becoming a father at 17 and how he was molested as a young fighter by an unnamed “prominent Olympic boxing coach.”
I know for some announcements such as this can feel a tad opportunistic. Just a way of getting the media’s attention for any number of reasons. I feel like no matter the reason, it’s a brave thing to reveal details like this. The more attention brought to these situations, the more likely that someone else out there will benefit from hearing his story.
