Anyone who loves boxing-even the sport's most die-hard supporters-must take a longer and more serious look at the issues that Tris Dixon writes about with such nuance and humanity in Damage...there's no better argument for more studies, discussion, and awareness than this book, a volume equal parts heartbreaking and inspiring with respect to the need for change.-Greg Bishop, Senior Writer, Sports Illustrated

The secret history brain damage in boxing has never been fully told―until now. From the story behind Muhammad Ali's deterioration, to first-hand accounts from the fighters themselves, including the beloved Micky Ward.

In Damage, author Tris Dixon delivers a gripping history of boxing's darkest secret-CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy), which was known previously as Dementia Pugilistica and Punch Drunk Syndrome.

This highly-anticipated book has already generated intense discussion on social media about the inner-conflict that comes with being a fan of the sweet science, and the difficulty involved in witnessing the devastating brain trauma suffered by the warriors who fight for the entertainment of millions.

Unfortunately, the promoters, managers, and other non-participants who profit from the violence have long looked the other way. Will this book finally drive them to address the issue and help fighters get the help they deserve?
