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"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.83092 Tyson Ty Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.8309 Tyson Ty Checked out 06/16/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.83092 TYSON Ty Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.83092 Tyson Ty Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.83092 Tyson Ty Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
