A Warrior's Heart by Micky Ward
From his first bout at the age of seven, Micky Ward was known first and foremost for giving as good as he got, and for leaving absolutely everything he had in the ring. When he fought, quitting was never an option. It was that indomitable spirit that would allow him to survive, battle against, and overcome the harsh realities that he faced every day of his life. From the rough streets of Lowell, Massachusetts, to the blood and sweat of the international fight game, to the bright lights and adulation of Hollywood, this is a rousing, moving, tragic tale.
Irish Micky Ward is a retired junior welterweight professional boxer from Lowell, Massachusetts. After a 15-year pro career, Ward gained widespread fame in his trilogy of legendary fights with Arturo Gatti, during which he won the World Boxing Union Jr. Welterweight Title. The 2010 movie The Fighter staring Mark Wahlberg as Micky Ward and Christian Bale as his half-brother Dicky Eklund, recounts Wards climb to fame.
