If ever you’ve looked to crack open a nonfiction book detailing the tales of one man, a former bodyguard of Elvis Presley, who earned himself both a super middleweight kickboxing championship and a drug smuggling conviction, the pages are now hot off the printers.

Ted Pryor, formerly refereed by Chuck Norris and training partner of Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran and Don "The Dragon" Wilson, was hired by Presley following his world championship win.

He details the job in his newly released book, "Three-Time World Champ: The Death-Defying True Story of a Kickboxer Turned Drug Smuggler . . .Turned Business Icon." Pryor's stint as Elvis Presley's bodyguard "Elvis, when he was younger in the service, he learned a little bit of martial arts, and he was infatuated with it," Pryor told Fox News Digital.

At the time, Pryor and his friend Joe were training Florida law enforcement, the FBI and DEA on the basics of self-defense to use as anchorage amid a physical encounter with an assailant.
