In September of 1973 Art Hafey knocked out Mexico’s greatest prizefighter and by 1976 he was the #1 rated featherweight in the world but he never got his shot at the title.
Art Hafey was one of the most feared fighters during the west Coast featherweight wars until he was diagnosed with Myotonia congenita; Myotonia congenita is an inherited condition that affects muscle relaxation. It is congenital, meaning that it is present from birth. One thing is for certain, had Arthur been privy to the massive amount of information that is available today, his opponents most likely would have received an even more painful prognosis.
Brad Little director of Toy Tiger brings the story of Canada’s greatest unknown athlete.
Toy Tiger is premiering at the El Portal Theatre October 3rd @ 3:30 pm ( 5269 Lankershim Blvd. North Hollywood, CA 91601 )
