David Sauvage has a story to tell. In person, in Hudson, one night only.
Back in 2005, a fighter named Diego “Chico” Corrales won what may have been the greatest boxing match in history. Two years later, he was dead. His story is jaw-dropping and tragic. David has turned it into a little book called Chico. He’ll read excerpts and offer you a copy, included with your admission.
David will also share how he came to write Chico. It has been a 20-year journey that continues to unfold.
