Free-spirited Olympic gold medalist Sugar Ray Seales won boxing's biggest prize at the 1972 Munich Games, then built a career as a respected amateur coach in Indianapolis. After a detached retina and a series of failed surgeries left him legally blind, Seales found Dr. John Abrams, an Indianapolis-area eye surgeon who took on the case few others would. The Sugarman follows Seales's journey from Olympic glory through vision loss to a hard-won recovery that let him keep coaching and living the life he loves.
