Glove Affair: My Lifelong Journey in the World of Professional

Glove Affair: My Lifelong Journey in the World of Professional Boxing

Randy Gordon has spent over 40 years in the world of professional boxing, as a broadcaster, ring announcer, New York Stateâ€™s athletic commissioner, editor of TheRing magazine, and host of SiriusXM Radioâ€™s At the Fights. No one else has ever seen the sport from so many different angles and from such lofty seats.

In Glove Affair: My Lifelong Journey in the World of Professional Boxing, Gordon recounts never-before-heard stories of the boxing industry and offers insights into some of its most famous figures, including Hall-of-Famers Bert Sugar, Alexis Arguello, Bob Arum, and Mike Tyson. With the perspective only an insider can offer, Gordon also reflects on his times with Muhammad Aliâ€”including the champâ€™s mind-dazzling magic tricks and his thoughts on the â€œThrillaâ€™ in Manilaâ€â€”and provides a glimpse into the boxing commissionerâ€™s office with stories of a wild and fiery hearing and a commission employeeâ€™s betrayal of the agency.

From his days as a wheelchair bound, severely injured boy in 1959 to the most-widely-listened-to boxing talk show host on the radio, Gordon recalls his life story with passion, humor, and love. More than just another book on the Sweet Science, Glove Affair is a journey through the world of boxing through the eyes of a man who has seen it all.
