Johnny Risko: The Cleveland Rubber Man
Boxing historian Jerry Fitch, called "the dean of Cleveland boxing historians" by the Cleveland Public Library, brings us the story of a very unique and special heavyweight contender from the 1920s and 30s, Johnny Risko, also known as the Cleveland Rubber Man. Risko fought in one of the toughest eras in boxing and his career record contains the names of such boxing luminaries as Sharkey, Tunney, Godfrey, Schmeling, Baer, Slattery, Stribling, Berlenbach, Galento, Walker and Delaney. This volume, the first book written about this Cleveland boxing legend, contains numerous first-hand accounts of his famous battles at the Cleveland Arena, Boston Garden, Detroit Olympia and Madison Square Garden.
