For the better part of the 80s, Duane Fields was a moderately successful heavyweight boxer. Though overshadowed by far more popular fighters such as Marvin Haggler and Mike Tyson, Duane was content with training his ass off, staying out of trouble, and bringing every ounce of effort he had into the ring. Win or lose, he was popular in the local sports press both for his hard-nosed play and for his charity work. Life was good, until Duane lost almost everything in a single night. Returning home from a night club, Duane lost control of his car, skipped across a highway divider, and collided head-on with a station wagon, killing the station wagon’s driver, his wife, and their young son.

The police found Duane babbling drunkenly, curled in a fetal position, covered in his own blood. He was booked on three counts of vehicular homicide and faced spending the rest of his life in jail. His lawyer counciled him to cop a plea and hope for the best.

Duane was resigned to his fate. Until, the day before his sentencing, one of the leading local sports columnists published an editorial charging the local PD with doctoring Duane’s blood alcohol test. Before Duane was done reading the article, his lawyer had called to apologize for suggesting the he plead guilty and Jesse Jackson personally stopped by to give Duane his undivided support in the face of an obviously racially motivated framing. Talk radio commentators who yesterday had nothing but vitriol to dispense about Duane were now painting him as an innocent man caught in the machinations of an obviously racist police force.

Duane was taken aback. He knew that he was drunk that night. Yet, he grudgingly went with the flow. While his conscience recoiled at what was obviously a miscarriage of justice, his fear of jail and the unwavering support of those around him carried him to plead innocent and eventually win an acquittal.

Duane wanted to get on with his life. He made plans to retire and devote more time to charity. But, the night before his press conference to announce his retirement, Duane found a note in his locker, threatening to reveal him as a fraud unless he took a fall in his last fight. Terrified, Duane obeyed. After the last game of his career, he found another note instructing him to leave $40,000 dollars in a plain black satchel bag somewhere in downtown Phoenix. He did so. Two months later, he found the same exact bag on his front porch with a note inside telling him to move out of town. Or else.

Since then, Duane has received a similar note about once every three years. Duane continues to obey, for now. He has no idea who or what is using him, to what purpose, or how they know of the bizarre cicrumstances of his trial. Duane has left cash and other valuables in remote locations, twice been told to rough up a total stranger, and once was ordered to mail the gloves he wore during his last match to a post office box. Several times, Duane’s "adventures" have led to brushes with the law, and every time the police have suddenly become interested in pegging the crime on someone else, all evidence to the contrary.

Currently, Duane runs a community center for inner city teens. Not content to simply throw money into the center, Duane personally councils youth and recruits athletes and other celebrities for personal appearances and donations.
