Undisputed Truth by Mike Tyson

Undisputed Truth 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.

Mike Tyson is the former undisputed heavyweight champion of the global and the first boxer to hold all three of the sport's major crowns at the same time--the WBC, WBA, and IBF world heavyweight titles. Tyson's persistent appeal has catapulted him into the entertainment industry: he starred in the hit films The Hangover and The Hangover 2, and his one-man show Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth has lately received critical acclaim. Tyson has established a clothing line (Mike Tyson Collection) as well as Tyrrhanic Productions, which is currently developing various film ideas. Tyson was recognized into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011. He and his wife, Kiki, and their children live in Las Vegas.

Larry Ratso Sloman is best known for collaborating with Howard Stern on the shows Private Parts and Miss America. Sloman's most recent collaborations include William Kalush's The Hidden Life of Houdini, magician David Blaine's Mysterious Stranger, and Red Hot Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis' memoir Scar Tissue. All three books were bestsellers in the New York Times.
