About this listen

Butterbean: The Eric Esch Story by Stu Armstrong is an in-depth biography of the legendary heavyweight fighter Eric “Butterbean” Esch, tracing his journey from humble beginnings to global fame in combat sports. The book explores how Butterbean, once an overweight kid bullied for his size, defied expectations to become a dominant force in boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts.

The story details his rise through the ranks of Toughman competitions, where his devastating knockout power and larger-than-life personality caught the attention of boxing promoters. It follows his transition into professional boxing, where he became a fan favorite for his brutal knockouts, signature American flag shorts, and relentless fighting style. The book also delves into his ventures into MMA and professional wrestling, showcasing his versatility as a combat athlete.

Beyond his fighting career, the biography provides a glimpse into Butterbean’s personal life, including the challenges he faced outside the ring, his dedication to his family, and his reflections on fame and success. Stu Armstrong paints a vivid picture of a man who, despite his intimidating presence, remained humble, hardworking, and deeply connected to his roots.

An in-depth look at the highs and lows of his career, Butterbean: The Eric Esch Story is an inspiring and entertaining story for fight fans and anyone who loves an underdog story.
