About this audiobook
From the rough streets of Auburn, Washington to the championship level of the boxing world, follow Greg Haugen's journey through the amateur circuit, the tough man competitions in Alaska, all the way to the professional ranks and a world championship. For the first time, hear him describe in his own words the ups and downs of his boxing career that led to some memorable championship bouts. Anyone who has ever known Haugen, including those who had a true disdain for him, share a common respect for him as a boxer. You'll read detailed descriptions of Haugen's blockbuster title fights with Hector "Macho" Camacho and Vinny Paz and the bad blood that developed in their relationships. You'll also read about his record-setting championship bout with Julio Cesar Chavez at the famed Azteca Stadium in Mexico City in front of over 132,000 fans - a record that still stands for the greatest paid attendance at any boxing match in history. Chavez, Camacho and Paz join a long list of Haugen opponents, including world champion and Olympic gold medalist Pernell Whitaker, who shared their stories for this book. There is so much to learn about Haugen, in and out of the ring and it's all included in Tough Man: The Greg Haugen Story.
