The boxing legend talks about his autobiography June 30 at Village Books.
Sugar Ray Leonard will be at Village Books on June 30 to sign copies of his new autobiography "The Big Fight: My Life In and Out of the Ring," released June 6.
Leonard will succeed actor Gavin MacLeod as Honorary Mayor of Pacific Palisades at the Chamber of Commerce's annual Installation Dinner on Thursday evening at Riviera Country Club, not far from Leonard's home.
Co-authored by Michael Arkush, the 320-page autobiography pulls no punches as the 55-year-old retired Hall of Fame boxer is candid about his many challenges both in and out of the ring.
