Ed Latimore | Heavyweight Boxer, Author, and Physics Graduate

Ed Latimore is a professional heavyweight boxer (14-1-1), U.S. Army veteran, and the author of Sober Letters to My Drunken Self (2018) and Hard Lessons From The Hurt Business: Boxing and the Art of Life (Penguin Random House, 2025). He also holds a degree in physics from Duquesne University.

Raised in the projects of Pittsburgh, Ed overcame poverty, fatherlessness, and addiction before forging a championship career in the boxing ring. After nearly nine years away from the sport, he returned at age 40 to score a first-round TKO — proving that resilience and discipline can overcome any odds.

Beyond the ring, Ed has built an online audience of hundreds of thousands through his writing on resilience, sobriety, and personal growth. He has spoken for organizations including Bisnow, the One Utah Summit (where organizers pre-ordered 800 copies of his book for attendees), Pace University, and the University of South Carolina football team, and has been featured by TEDx, the Manhattan Institute, and the South China Morning Post.

Ed has also appeared on major podcasts, including Real Talk with Zuby, The Learning Leader with Ryan Hawk, The Pomp Podcast with Anthony Pompliano, Infinite Loops with Jim O’Shaughnessy, The James Altucher Show, The Art of Manliness, The Dr. Drew Podcast, and Order of Man with Ryan Michler.

Ed is represented in publishing by William Morris Endeavor (WME), one of the world’s premier literary agencies.
