Published: March 28, 2017, 1:55 a.m.

Today I'm joined by author, journalist, documentarian and man of many opinions, Brin-Jonathan Butler. Butler has written some of the most essential pieces on boxing, Cuba, the struggles of athletes and finding humanity in it all through the prism of sport.

His works include the brief but excellent documentary Ali vs Stevenson: The Greatest Fight That Never Was on Vimeo, as well as works such as Farewell Champions of Havana at RoadsAndKingdoms.com and The Poison Oasis with Mickey Duzyj for SBNation.com.

He's also authored A Cuban Boxer’s Journey: Guillermo Rigondeaux. From Castro’s Traitor to American Champion and The Domino Diaries: My Decade Boxing with Olympic Champions and Chasing Hemingway’s Ghost in the Last Days of Castro’s Cuba. His website is http://www.brin-jonathanbutler.com/
