"Muhammad Ali ... og så mig! Dette århundredes største idræts-idol. Og en dansk reporter. Det er vel sådan ca. som herfra til den anden side af Mælkevejen. Og dog. Engang krydsede vi spor... Fragmenter af to liv, frosset fast i tiden i enkelte gyldne sekunder."

Danmarks bedste bokser fortæller den fulde historie om at gå fra et udsat liv på Bryggen til et liv i den absolutte sportselite. Med alt, hvad det rummer af farer og fristelser.Handskerne er lagt på hylden, og Mikkel Kessler tager os med bag kulisserne i en barsk verden, hvor aftaler bliver brudt, venskaber går fløjten, og pengene bliver så store, at det oftest er svært at tro på for en arbejderdreng fra Islands Brygge.Han blev hele Danmarks "Viking Warrior" og var i en årrække ugentligt forsidestof, når han udkæmpede drabelige dueller i de største VM-kampe, en dansk nævekæmper nogensinde har deltaget i. I dette hudløst ærlige tilbageblik zoomer Mikkel Kessler ind på de mest skelsættende episoder både uden for og i ringen.Uden parader er historien om at vokse op i en familie, der var lidt ud over det sædvanlige. Det er historien om samarbejdet med Mogens Palle, der begyndte akavet og endte dramatisk. Om lyssky kontrakter, om ungdomsflirten med diverse stimulanser og om de provokatører, man møder, når man bliver kendt. Og ikke mindst er det historien om, hvordan Mikkel Kessler mod alle odds formåede at holde sig på dydens smalle sti og ofre alt for at nå til tops i sin sport.

Fire år efter at Rivera vippede Cal af tronen i MMA, har Cals træner, Riley, arrangeret en revanchekamp på Riveras hjemmebane i Mexico. Men Cal føler sig klar, han trænger til at få vasket pletten væk og har trænet hårdere end nogensinde. Den apati, han blev ramt af i tiden efter, at han blev besejret af Rivera, er væk, han har fået ny energi og fokus tilbage. Riley har ret: Rivera kan bare komme an. Men Rivera har aldrig tabt en kamp, og i dagene op til kampen begynder Cal og Riley hver for sig at tvivle på, om han overhovedet kan besejres. Der er meget på spil. Hvis Cal må lægge handskerne på hylden (for det vil et nyt nederlag betyde), aner ingen af dem, hvad de så skal lave. De ønsker ikke at svigte hinanden. Det er de panisk ræd for.SIDSTE CHANCE er et intenst psykologisk drama om at stå ansigt til ansigt med sin nemesis. Om stilhed før storm. Og afgrunden, der åbner sig, når sandhedens time nærmer sig.

INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!WITH A FOREWORD BY TOM BRADY ?As a sportscaster and sports historian, Jim's career genuinely stands the test of time. . . . This book is sports history about some of the greats by one of the greats, who was taking it all in on the sidelines, in the stands or the dugout, by the eighteenth green, courtside, or in the broadcast booth.? ?Tom Brady, seven-time NFL Super Bowl champion GOATA riveting, insightful memoir of never-before-told stories from Jim Gray, twelve-time Emmy Award-winner, Hall of Fame sports broadcaster, and renowned interviewer? that explores the author's career and the inside stories and memorable moments of the famous legends he has covered including, Muhammad Ali, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Mike Tyson.In Talking to GOATs, award-winning broadcaster Jim Gray looks back at his four decades of sports reporting from the unparalleled perspective of one of the world's most respected and skilled interviewers. A journalist who many iconic athletes have trusted to tell their stories (of both triumph and disgrace), Jim has had unprecedented access to the people, places and extraordinary events in the world of sports. Asking tough but fair questions, he has broken numerous stories, and landed squarely in the middle of others, from the Ben Johnson and Barry Bonds steroid scandals, to Michael Jordan's surprise retirement, to the off-the-court Kobe/Shaq feud which led to their on-the-court break up, to being part of the live broadcast for twenty-two Super Bowls.

These are real, mesmerizing, and previously untold stories. Talking to GOATs features numerous world-class athletes, including Muhammad Ali, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Floyd Mayweather, Michael Phelps, Mike Tyson and Tiger Woods, and world leaders George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Mikhail Gorbachev, and many more. On each page, Jim gives the reader a coveted all-access pass as he reviews the best interviews, the best athletes, and the best games in modern sports history. It's like a personal introduction to the characters and careers of these heroes and villains we've known since childhood. He examines how money, celebrity, the media, and power interact, and how sports, more than any other institution, has led to momentous transformations in American society.

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, the patriarch of the prestigious Nurmagomedov battling tradition, remains as the unstoppable foundation of a heritage scratched in the records of blended hand to hand fighting (MMA) history. His impact rises above the octagon, winding through the texture of discipline, versatility, and unflinching responsibility. Brought into the world in the rough territory of Dagestan in 1962, Abdulmanap's excursion from humble starting points to the apex of MMA training mirrors the actual embodiment of his getting through heritage. Supporting an enthusiasm for battle sports since early on, Abdulmanap's process unfurled against a background of misfortune, where assurance turned into the compass directing his direction. Outfitted with a constant hard working attitude, he dug into the complexities of wrestling, judo, and sambo, sharpening a multi-layered approach that would later shape the battling ability of his praised child, Khabib Nurmagomedov. Abdulmanap's instructing reasoning wasn't only bound to procedure; it rose above into the domain of imparting fundamental beliefs - discipline, regard, and lowliness. Abdulmanap's domination in the MMA training domain became tangible when he took on the position of lead trainer at the prestigious Hawks MMA Club in Dagestan. Here, in the midst of the tough scene that reflected the flexibility of its kin, he fastidiously created a preparation routine that joined customary hand to hand fighting with current strategies. His instructional meetings weren't just about actual ability; they were groundbreaking encounters that etched warriors into paragons of mental mettle. The delegated gem in Abdulmanap's training heritage arose through his relationship with his child, Khabib, a contender who rose above the game. The dad child pair shaped a tough bond, their coordinated effort filling in as the bedrock whereupon Khabib's unrivaled progress in the UFC was fabricated. Under Abdulmanap's direction, Khabib arose as an undefeated hero, typifying a combination of specialized brightness and unrivaled mental strength. Unfortunately, Abdulmanap's less than ideal destruction in 2020 cast a serious shadow over the MMA world. However, even in his actual nonattendance, his heritage perseveres as a directing light for hopeful warriors and mentors. The Birds MMA Club keeps on remaining as a demonstration of his getting through impact, a cauldron where champions are fashioned in expertise as well as in character. Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's inheritance is in excess of a narrative of triumphs; it is a story of steadiness, mentorship, and the dauntless soul that fills the quest for significance. His effect resounds a long ways past the limits of the octagon, reverberating through the halls of combative techniques exercise centers and the hearts of the people who keep on drawing motivation from his lessons. In Abdulmanap's getting through heritage, the substance of a genuine foundations lies - a relentless establishment whereupon champions are fabricated and a never-ending demonstration of the groundbreaking force of a mentor's insight.

This seminal work by historian Alexander Bennett presents a broad overview of the Japanese "Way of the Warrior" as it is expressed in scores of classical Japanese texts written by famous Samurai themselves. Bennett's analysis of these writings shows that the essential meaning of Bushido, the Samurai's code of conduct and ethics, evolved significantly over time--from the 12th century when the warrior class was elevated to become an elite group, to the 19th century when the Samurai class was suddenly disbanded. Bushido Explained takes a visual approach to presenting important concepts and terminology, helping readers easily navigate the complex world of the Samurai. The text is written in a highly accessible style, with sidebars presenting interesting concepts, facts and important Samurai figures who were central to Bushido's evolution. The different types of Bushido--which vary by region, time period and Samurai rank--are presented with over 300 informative diagrams and illustrations. No other book offers such a wide-ranging, yet clear analysis of Bushido--debunking myths and misconceptions about who the Samurai truly were. Bushido Explained presents a precise overview of Samurai ideals and culture in a logical, chronological order. Author Alexander Bennett--a professor of Japanese history, martial arts and Budo theory at Kansai university in Japan--uses this information and teaching methods in his Japanese Studies: Introduction to Bushido class. Now, readers all over the world can sit in on the unique lesson.
