    Abandoned child never lost sight of his will to prevail



    By Joe Tessitore
    Special to ESPN.com

    While Edison Miranda has risen to prominence as a boxer, the obstacles he had to overcome while growing up in Colombia were stunning, FNF's Joe Tessitore writes.


    "As it was told to me on that day, Edison was grossly mistreated as a child. He was born in 1981 in Colombia, on the economically challenged southern coast of the South American nation. It would have been a test even if he had the support of a hardworking family willing to provide as best they could. That was hardly the case. Edison was born to a 14-year-old girl with no such intentions."
