Next Round: A Young Athlete's Journey To Gold Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Arthur Biyarslanov’s journey to competitive boxing has not been easy. As a small child he fled Chechnya with his family, dodging bullets and rocket fire and fording a freezing river. As a young Muslim refugee he faced hardships and hostility in his new homes in Azerbaijan and Toronto. Soccer became his refuge, and he learned two languages by playing the game with his new friends. In Toronto, he joined a league and quickly became their star player. A broken leg left him weakened and he turned to boxing to keep his strength up. Soon it became his new love. After many hours of hard work, he started to win his bouts. And by the age of twenty the “Chechen Wolf” was a champion amateur boxer, winning gold for Canada, his new homeland, at the 2015 Pan Am Games. That medal earned him a shot at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro―the next round for this talented boxer and determined survivor.

This book is about a Canadian athlete named Arthur Biyarslanov who, after he broke his leg during soccer practice, tried out boxing. Arthur is from Chechnya and was only three years old during the First Chechen War. He and his family had to escape from Chechnya as refugees to find a better place to live. This is a true story, and also a very exciting one. My favorite character in this book is… ARTHUR, or course! My favorite part of this book was when Arthur faced Zsolt, another boxing champion, for the first time. Will Arthur defeat Zsolt? Read the book and you’ll find out.I give the book 5 stars because it was entertaining the whole time. I recommend this book to kids who want to be athletes or boxers when they are older, and kids who like sports and exciting stories.
