Punch Out Publishing Announces Release of The Eighth Round by Zeke Wilson
Zeke Wilson enjoys weight training and various sports and physical activities. He has held state, national and world records in AAU Powerlifting, and currently serves as AAU Western Pennsylvania District Director of the Powerlifting program. He was honored by becoming the recipient of the AAU 2005 Youth Coach of the Year Award.
His amateur accomplishments qualified him to compete in the USA AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) Heavyweight Box-off held in June of 1977. He won the Heavyweight Elimination held in the Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, OH, which qualified him for a seat on the US Boxing Team. As his experience in the sport grew, he enlisted in the US Marine Corps and became a member of the Marine Corps boxing team. In July of 1980, he competed successfully in the Marine Base Championship at Camp Pendleton, CA.
After serving four years in the Marine Corps, Zeke was honorably discharged with a Good Conduct Medal and Meritorious Masses.
A few years ago, one man found from first-hand experience that common people can stand up for their constitutional rights–and win. Although he spent his whole life if pursuit of his boxing career, he quickly found that his biggest fight would happen outside of the ring!
Now, his inspirational true-life story is available to help encourage citizens everywhere to do the same. The progress of his fight with his would-be oppressors was further impeded by difficulty in obtaining legal counsel, a lack of higher education, and a complete lack of knowledge of the American legal system. Still, he would not be dissuaded in the struggle to achieve justice.
Armed only with an unquenchable willpower and unwavering persistence, he sees the struggle through to a conclusion that would set federal precedent. The book tells of his struggle and triumph, involving important and timely social issues, and of the determination and perseverance that fueled his resolve. This true story will keep you engaged and cheering for the underdog all the way.
The book is written in an easy-to-read narrative style and details one man’s struggle and triumph in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. The author has presented the true account in a way that everyone can identify with. It is a transformational story that will appeal to a vast audience and will change every reader forever.
