The St. Paul Phantom Hits #1 New Release on Amazon

By GlobeNewswire

St. Paul, Minnesota , Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The St. Paul Phantom: The Gibbons Brothers’ Fight for Glory, Volume I, by Dr. Gerard Gibbons, has reached the #1 New Release spot in Amazon’s Boxing category, ahead of the book’s September 15 publication and the author’s homecoming launch week in St. Paul. Content Syndicate, the media relations and press distribution firm behind the book’s ongoing PR campaign, announced the milestone today.


The ranking caps a sustained, multi-release campaign built around cultural touchpoints, boxing history milestones, and the book’s connection to America’s 250th-anniversary year, distributed through Content Syndicate’s network of more than 1,200 media endpoints.

WHAT THIS MILESTONE SHOWS

A #1 New Release ranking does not happen by accident. It is the visible result of a sustained media strategy: a calendar of press releases timed to real news hooks, syndicated widely enough to build sustained visibility, and paired with a compelling story that editors, readers, and algorithms alike respond to. For The St. Paul Phantom, that strategy turned a debut author’s family history book into a category leader before its official publication date.


ABOUT THE ST. PAUL PHANTOM

The St. Paul Phantom: The Gibbons Brothers’ Fight for Glory, Volume I tells the true story of Mike “The St. Paul Phantom” Gibbons and his brother Tommy, two Irish-American brothers who rose from the hardscrabble streets of St. Paul to become champions of boxing’s outlaw Golden Age. Guided by a priest, a firefighter, and a beloved sportswriter, and mentored by America’s first Black champions, Joe Gans, Jack Johnson, and Sam Langford, Mike pioneers a dazzling style of scientific boxing that carries him from backroom brawls to Madison Square Garden and into the orbit of Harry Houdini, Theodore Roosevelt, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The book is more than a boxing story. It is a sweeping historical epic of immigration, faith, family, and the American Dream, lavishly illustrated with rare photographs and original illustrations, and arriving as the nation celebrates America250.
