Honkytonk Hitman Mike Rodgers

A man moves to Nashville, Tennessee from Little Rock, Arkansas to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a country-music star. After living out of his car for a week or two, he enters the professional boxing ring to make some quick cash. He doesn't know if he can recapture his past glory as a distinguished amateur boxer. Much to his own surprise, he starts winning bout after bout and eventually wins a world title. One might think that this scenario forms the plot of a would-be novel or screenplay in the fertile imagination of a most creative writer. But it is not. This is the real life story of Mike Rodgers, a country music singer and professional boxer who has 25 wins -20 by kayo - and only two losses.
