    About this ebook

    In the spring of 1967, Nino Benvenuti was the first Italian to keep the entire nation awake all night for an event taking place on the opposite side of the ocean, in New York, when the six hour time lapse collapsed under the enthusiasm for his victory over Emile Griffith in the old Madison Square Garden stadium.
    This book is unusual and interesting. The boxer leaves nothing unsaid when he tells of those tormented years of his life engraved with the rhythm of his successes in the ring, but also with the lacerating contradictions in his private life.
    A World Champion who was able to get a lot of courage to show up, providing the unpublished story of what he thinks, testing, suffer, moment by moment, a fighter in the ring, but also the unexpected reflection on the limits of man.
