Interview with Prem Panicker of Yahoo India about A Cuban Boxer's Journey



Yahoo India's wonderful Prem Panicker worked with me on a little interview about A Cuban Boxer's Journey and the writing process. That can be found here. Amazon just selected A Cuban Boxer's Journey as one of their "2014's Best Books So Far."

A podcast I recorded over in Brooklyn with Longform.org should be out next week. Was a real privilege to be included amongst the other wonderful journalists and writers they've interviewed for their series (Evan Wright, Jay Caspian Kang, and Gay Talese's podcasts, to name just a few, make for great listening).

If you haven't had a chance to check out my short film "Ali vs Stevenson: The Greatest Fight That Never Was" please head over to Ring Magazine's write up by the super talented Brian Harty: here.

Happy 4th of July!
