Micky Ward A Warriors Heart The True Story of Life Before and Beyond The Fighter Flying off Shelves

May 29, 2012 - PRLog -- With the success of the critically-acclaimed, Academy Award-winning film “The Fighter,” the world stood up and cheered for the inspiring true story of Micky Ward—a heart-and-soul warrior who overcame the odds to make history in the ring. But that was only part of the tale…

Now, in his own words, “Irish” Micky Ward tells his inspirational life story as only he can.

From his first bout at the age of seven, Micky Ward was known first and foremost for giving as good as he got, and for leaving absolutely everything he had in the ring. When he fought, quitting was never an option. It was that indomitable spirit that would allow him to survive, battle against, and overcome the harsh realities that he faced every day of his life.

For it was outside the ring that Ward’s heart would be most needed, from witnessing his idolized older half-brother Dicky fall from grace, to dealing with his wildly dysfunctional—if frighteningly loyal—family, to the darkest of secrets that he has never revealed until now, and the numerous setbacks and defeats that would have stopped a lesser man. Micky Ward has remained a fighter, through and through—both as a professional boxer, and as a man who finally found his greatest strength in friendship, family, and faith in himself

From the rough streets of Lowell, Massachusetts, to the blood and sweat of the international fight game, to the bright lights and adulation of Hollywood, this is the rousing, moving, tragic, and humorous story of the one and only Micky Ward.  A Warriors Heart is on book store shelves today or can be ordered on Amazon or Barnes and Noble online.

I am thrilled he had the opportunity to get his story out in his words, and his way. Knowing Micky and how he is, my bet is this book is the one to read, I am excited to watch this evole."


"So much to say about Micky all good - years ago I recall when on ESPN I used my forum to shout out to him, I believed he earned the right the hardest way it can be earned in the boxing world giving of himself in the ring, and he gave everything he had, The Ward vs Gatti fight finally happened and on HBO. It was historic leading in to it and throughout the whole fight and still to this day one of the most talked about fights in history, the value of the fight itself was phenomenal it was the fight people wanted to see, Micky was then a warrior and still is. Micky Ward is a man of great integrity and character, it shows in his sportsmanship and every aspect  of the person he is. His own story in his words is something that has yet to be told, a must read!" Teddy Atlas; Well-known boxing trainer and fight commentator.

Bonnie Martinson Salem MA says  "I was excited when I attended a concert a couple of years ago and Micky took the stage with the performer, I had followed Micky most of my adult life, being from the area became a huge fan, the concert was right before the movie came out, did not get a chance to meet and speak to him until last July while at a concert for the same performer again, he is the real deal, picked up the book today during lunch, can't wait to open it up and read it, and ask him to autograph it as well, I am hoping for a movie!"
