70-year-old former middleweight boxing champ Emile Griffith has finally come out of the closet in the new book Nine ... Ten ... And Out! The Two Worlds of Emile Griffith.
Griffith is most famous for killing fellow boxer Benny Paret during a live televised match at Madison Square Garden in 1962. Paret had called Griffith a "maricon" (homo) before the match started and Griffith not only defeated him in the match, but put him in a coma from which he did not emerge. In Griffith's words:
"I keep thinking how strange it is ... I kill a man and most people understand and forgive me. However, I love a man, and to so many people this is an unforgivable sin; this makes me an evil person. So, even though I never went to jail, I have been in prison almost all my life."
