From Freddie to Freedom

With an amateur record of 99 wins 7 losses and 1 draw, this autobiography composed and edited in collaboration with Neo Blaqness takes you from Freddie's early years in the deep southern and racist cotton fields of Mississippi to the discrimination and corruption of the boxing ring, to the death of his wife and raising three children as a single father.

This book is a life lesson on black history, love, and redemption.
