Mairis Briedis became world famous when in 2013 he became the first Latvian professional boxer to win the prestigious IBA world title. Then he became not only a celebrity, but a national hero and a favourite. For his sporting achievements, he was awarded the Order of the Three Stars, the highest national honour of the Republic of Latvia. During his career, Mairis has won many victories, but that is not what this book is about.
- This book is not so much about Mairis' biography as it is about his thoughts on life, his plans for the future. He writes frankly about his childhood and youth, about his mistakes. It will be useful for the younger generation and has a confessional character," says Alexander Vasilyev, gathering material for the book and contacting his hero's friends and relatives. In the pages of the book, Mairis talks about his childhood and his difficult relationship with his parents. He was not a perfect child either: he had his first cigarette and his first "twist", he tried to get high as a teenager. The athlete openly admits that he lost a whole year of his life to catexsomania. And it's impossible to know what it would have been like if boxing hadn't come into his life.
