...guards, and the coach who discovered Peter still plods along in obscurity, living in a tiny one-bedroom shack behind a palm-wine bar. Indeed, Coach Ade Young knows better than most just how little glamor is involved in boxing in Nigeria. A former national champion himself (1970 super lightweight), Young has spent decades traveling the countryside on the backs of trucks or on his motorcycle, recruiting the next generation of contenders...
