The lost years of Michael Nunn
Michael Nunn spent 16 years in prison for his part in a $200 drug deal and now he’s trying to make the most of the time he has left, writes Chris Walker
THERE is no bitterness in Michael Nunn. He’s a free man after spending 16 long years in various American prisons. Caught buying cocaine for $200 from an undercover agent at a time when Lennox Lewis was still the world heavyweight champion, his sentence totalled only two years less than his entire boxing career. Nunn, to his credit, blames no one but himself.
“My mistakes fall only on me so I deserved my punishment,” states Nunn.
