When boxing was bold, bright and glamorous and the fights were the hottest sporting events of the year, Joe Frazier was king as the Heavyweight Champion of the World. From 1970 to 1973 he reigned, and with his career record of 32-4-1 with 27 knockouts and an Olympic gold medal, Frazier leaves little question that he is one of the greatest fighters of all time. Packed with stories that no one outside his family knows (such as the reason he was not drafted for Vietnam, his role in Ali’s reinstatement, his biggest fear), Smokin’ Joe will finally answer all the questions his fans have been wondering about — his thoughts on George Foreman, Don King and Mike Tyson (among others), his training regimen and fight strategies, and much, much more — thereby telling the tale of what it takes to be a champion and a legend. His good-hearted nature and uncanny ability to make you laugh come through as he weaves this story in his colorful style that is personable, funny and a real delight. The perfect gift for Father’s Day, and published to celebrate the 25th anniversary of “The Fight of the Century”, Smokin’ Joe will entertain and enthrall readers with the account of one of America’s strongest treasures.
