Gordy Racette, renowned Canadian professional boxer, kickboxer, and martial arts champion, delves into the hard-won wisdom of his years of competing to be the best, while overcoming challenges that would leave most people out of the game for good.

Born with grit and tenacity, Gordy grew up in a small town with only TV and movie heroes inspiring him to reach peak performance. Leaving home at fifteen, he developed a fierce independence, determined to become champion. However, after a severe accident, the doctors said what he wished to achieve was impossible, and a new challenge appeared: prove them wrong.

Gordy persevered, consistently shocking fellow athletes and nay-sayers who didn’t believe a man who walked with a cane or required adaptive devices could compete at the highest level or attract the attention of Sylvester Stallone or Muhammad Ali. But that didn’t matter to him. Undeterred by injury and setback, he won title after title.

At times funny, heart-wrenching, and deeply inspiring, The Gauntlet is an essential memoir by one of the most fascinating Canadian world class athletes.
