    Amazing story of a guy who was wrongly sentenced to 20+ years to life, where he found boxing in prison which guided him and gave him meaning. He won the Prison championship which gave him an opportunity to earn his Bachelors Degree and Masters Degree. He used that to find a project called "The Innocence Project which sought to help overturn false accusations. After many unsuccessful appeals he was freed and cleared of charges on October of 2009, when a retired cop came forward with evidence...

    Now a free man he was awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, and is now scheduled to pursue his dream and fight professionally on the undercard of the Bernard Hopkins vs Chad Dawson fight on Oct. 14 (tomorrow night)
