Tyson grew fatherless on the streets of Brooklyn. Get ready to discover its most surprising and astonishing bits! Mike Tyson’s first fight Written with the help of Larry “Ratso” Sloman and published in 2013, “Undisputed Truth” is Tyson’s “bare-knuckled, tell-all memoir.” Just like “Iron Mike” in his prime, it overdelivers on expectations pretty much against them, it’s more a story of redemption than a story of regret.
Things went really downhill from then on: he quickly became “addicted to everything” then he lost his titles to 42-to-1 underdog Buster Douglas in 1992, he was convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in prison released early, in 1997, he took part in one of the most infamous fights in history, from which he was disqualified for biting off Evander Holyfield’s ear several anticlimactic knockouts later, he declared bankruptcy in 2003 – despite earning more than $300 million throughout his career.

"Would you please stop talking," she politely asked. "Good for you," he hollered after Mike revealed that he patched things up with Evander Holifield.Īn African-American woman seated in front had all she could stand.
