Be sure to check out IRON AMBITION: My Life with Cus D'Amato by
Mike Tyson "Raw, powerful and disturbing-a head-spinning take on
Mr. Tyson's life."-Wall Street Journal Philosopher, Broadway
headliner, fighter, felon-Mike Tyson has defied stereotypes,
expectations, and a lot of conventional wisdom during his three
decades in the public eye. Bullied as a boy in the toughest,
poorest neighborhood in Brooklyn, Tyson grew up to become one of
the most ferocious boxers of all time-and the youngest heavyweight
champion ever. But his brilliance in the ring was often compromised
by reckless behavior. Yet-even after hitting rock bottom-the man
who once admitted being addicted "to everything" fought his way
back, achieving triumphant success as an actor and newfound
happiness and stability as a father and husband. Brutal, honest,
raw, and often hilarious, Undisputed Truth is the singular journey
of an inspiring American original.

Documentary about former professional boxer Muhammad Ali directed
by film-maker Clare Lewins. With access to Ali's personal audio
journals as well as his friends and family members, the film
explores how he became an internationally recognised celebrity and
countercultural figure due to a provocative and entertaining
nature, and also examines how he was with those closest to him
while at the top of his game.
One of the most talked-about and bestselling books of last year,
this is the no-holds-barred autobiography of a sporting legend
driven to the brink of self-destruction The bestseller that has
everyone talking. In this, his first, autobiography, 'Iron' Mike
Tyson pulls no punches and lays bare the story of his remarkable
life and career. Co-written with Larry Sloman, author of Antony
Keidis's best-selling memoir 'Scar Tissue', this is a visceral, and
unputdown-able story of a man born and raised to brutality, who
reached the heights of stardom before falling to crime, substance
abuse and infamy. Full of all the controversy and complexity that
you would expect from a man who delighted as much as he shocked,
this is a book that will surprise and reveals a fascinating
character beneath the exterior of violence. If you think you know
all about Mike Tyson, read this book and think again.
The story of the relationship between the most devastating
heavyweight boxer in history and the mentor who made him. When
legendary boxing trainer Cus D'Amato saw thirteen-year-old Mike
Tyson spar in the ring, he proclaimed 'That's the heavyweight
champion of the world'. D'Amato played a huge role in Tyson's
formative years, legally adopting him at age sixteen, and shaping
him both physically and mentally after years of living in poverty.
He would train the young boxer for several years, dying just months
before Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history.
In Iron Ambition, Tyson shares the life lessons that D'Amato passed
down to him and reflects on how the trainer's words of wisdom
continue to resonate with him outside the ring. The book also
chronicles Cus's courageous fight against the mobsters who
controlled boxing, revealing more than we've ever know about this
singular cultural figure.

From the former heavyweight champion and New York Times-bestselling
author comes a powerful look at the life and leadership lessons of
Cus D'Amato, the legendary boxing trainer and Mike Tyson's
surrogate father. "[Iron Ambition] spells out D'Amato's techniques
for building a champion from scratch." - Wall Street Journal When
Cus D'Amato first saw thirteen-year-old Mike Tyson spar in the
ring, he proclaimed, "That's the heavyweight champion of the
world." D'Amato, who had previously managed the careers of world
champions Floyd Patterson and Jose Torres, would go on to train the
young Tyson and raise him as a son. D'Amato died a year before
Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history. In
Tyson's bestselling memoir Undisputed Truth, he recounted the role
D'Amato played in his formative years, adopting him at age sixteen
after his mother died and shaping him both physically and mentally
after Tyson had spent years living in fear and poverty. In Iron
Ambition, Tyson elaborates on the life lessons that D'Amato passed
down to him, and reflects on how the trainer's words of wisdom
continue to resonate with him outside the ring. The book also
chronicles Cus's courageous fight against the mobsters who
controlled boxing, revealing more than we've ever known about this
singular cultural figure.
