Season 2: #16 Dicky Eklund
from Boxing Life Stories · host Tris Dixon
There is more than one Dicky Eklund. There was the promising pro who was matched early against a developing Sugar Ray Leonard and then the strung out junkie portrayed by Christian Bale in an Oscar-winning performance in the film The Fighter. Dicky has had a hard life; in and out of prison, on and off drugs, in and out of boxing. The half brother and trainer of 'Irish' Micky Ward, he now looks back on a life of regrets and missed opportunities while recalling happily Micky's glory years in a candid and hard-hitting interview.
