In 2006, Augustus was the subject of a documentary film entitled The Journeyman filmed in Brownsville, Texas. Documentary filmmaker Sean Lynn followed the career of Augustus to that point. During a 2012 interview with boxing expert Dan Rafael, Floyd Mayweather Jr. stated Augustus was the toughest opponent he had faced in his career. On the night of October 13, 2014, Augustus was critically wounded after being shot in the back of the head from a random gunshot and was on life support.[1] Baton Rouge Police named 21-year-old Christopher Stills as a suspect in the crime, but subsequently dropped charges due to lack of witnesses or evidence of intent, as Stills was alleged to have fired a gun several times in the air but not at a target..[2] Augustus is now doing better, and is living with his sister in Baton Rouge. As of April 2016, Augustus is engaged to be married, in improved health and spirits, and remains in training for a possible comeback in the ring[3]
Thanks for the update. It all sounded ok until the end...no freaking way should he be allowed to fight again.
