As I wrote in my holiday update a few months ago, I have been working on two major writing projects: an article about Kronk gym sparring and a book about George Foreman’s comeback.
I am pleased to announce that Ringside Seat magazine has officially published my Kronk article in its latest issue.
It took me two months to write the Kronk article, which involved five interviews and several drafts. I am very proud of how it turned out and all the hard work I put in to make it a reality. I have always been motivated by achieving goals, and I am willing to put in the work and overcome obstacles in order to accomplish those goals. This article is another example of that.
It makes me happy to see my name on the issue’s list of contributors, among other great boxing writers, knowing that I created this opportunity and followed through to make it happen.
I want to thank John Lepak, Tarick Salmaci, Milton McCrory, Ka-Dy King, and Leeonzer Barber for giving me their time and telling their stories. I am also grateful for Ringside Seat editor Bill Dettloff, who helped me secure some of those interviews and provided valuable feedback during the editing process. Without those people, I wouldn’t have been able to create this great piece, which I consider one of my best articles to date.
I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
