Tony!

Tony Tenkiller is a naïve amateur boxing champion from a small Oklahoma town who has dreamed of winning a world title ever since he was a child. After a training run, Tony stops in a public restroom to rinse the sweat from his face. A few minutes later, he finds himself in the backseat of a police car where he begins to fear the implication this one incident will have on his life and boxing career. Disaster is averted-for the moment-when Tony's uncle rescues him from his predicament. With help from his new manager, ex-newspaper sports editor Lamar Bosworth, Tony mistakenly believes he has overcome his recent problem. But when he turns professional, a persistent rumor threatens to damage his career as he works his way toward a million-dollar world title bout. As he attempts to determine who has his back in his inner-circle and who does not, tragedy strikes twice, leaving Tony more vulnerable than ever. In this action-packed story of hype, greed, and manipulation, a young professional boxer struggles to keep his dream alive as life throws him punches he never sees coming.
