In 1992, on a school bus in rural Quebec, a teenager told everyone he was a boxer. It wasn't true yet.

Adam Green turned that boast into a twenty-year fight. He started in a small-town gym under Jimmy Hilton, one of the famous Hilton brothers. He lost, learned, and kept going, and he traded punches with future world-level talent like Jean Pascal. He became Champion of Quebec and trained in Las Vegas, but the championship he wanted most kept slipping away.

Then life hit harder than any opponent. He lost his mother, and his career stalled. He faced personal battles outside the ring, and an eight-year layoff left most people assuming he was tinished.

He came back anyway. On April 29, 2017, Adam won the Canadian Middleweight Championship.

It Was My Dream is the honest, funny and sometimes brutal story of what it costs to chase a dream. Adam shares the blood, the sacrifices, the bad decisions and the people who stood by him. His message is simple: master your mind, and no obstacle can stop you.
