About this ebook

Love him or loathe him, ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson is an icon and one of the most fascinating sporting figures of our time. In this no-holds-barred autobiography, Tyson lays bare his demons and tells his story: from poverty to stardom to hell and back again

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 people and reveal a fascinating character beneath the exterior of violence.
If you think you know all about Mike Tyson, read this book and think again.

A good insight into who "Iron Mike" was, and a candid view of the real man behind the mask. Noone is a bigger critic of Mike than Mike himself. After reading this, its obvious how he could earn nearly half a billion dollars and still end up filing for bankruptcy. The snakes around him got rich off exploiting his vulnerability Recommended to all boxing fans

Whatever you thought you knew about Mike Tyson will change when you read this book. He's an interesting character to say the least and his upbringing will go some way to explaining how he became one of the most exciting heavyweights of all time and then subsequently going off the rails later in his career. His life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs and steeped in controversy and although your opinions aren't going to drastically change, it's still fascinating to read his side of the story.

Eloquently put brut truth. He does not wait for openings, every paragraph is a barrage of punches. A life which dances in the extremes of the entire spectrum of morality and ego with an everlasting hint of greatness. Check it out.

About the author

Mike Tyson is a former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and holds the record as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles at 20 years, 4 months and 22 days old. Tyson won his first 19 professional bouts by knockout, with 12 of them occurring in the first round. He won the WBC title in 1986 after defeating Trevor Berbick by a TKO in the second round. In 1987, Tyson added the WBA and IBF titles after defeating James Smith and Tony Tucker. He was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, and the only heavyweight to individually unify them.

Larry Sloman is the author of bestselling collaborative books with Bob Dylan, Howard Stern, and the critically acclaimed ‘Scar Tissue’ with Anthony Kiedis.
