10th Round - Paperback

Mickey Brannigan was once a name that echoed under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden-a world champion who fought like he had nothing to lose. But years of punishment, bad choices, and silence from the ones who mattered most left him a ghost of himself: sick, broke, and estranged from his only son.

When Mickey stumbles into the life of Tyrell Banks, a hungry young fighter with raw talent and a storm of his own to survive, he sees more than a protégé-he sees a second chance. Training Tyrell reignites the fire Mickey thought was gone forever, forcing him to confront not only the brutality of the sport but the wreckage of his past.

As Tyrell's rise collides with Mickey's failing health, the old fighter is pushed into the most important round of his life-not in the ring, but at home, face-to-face with the son he abandoned. 10th Round is a story about fathers and sons, about the blows that scar outside the ropes, and about how sometimes the hardest fight is the one for forgiveness.
