Undisputed Truth by Mike Tyson with Larry Sloman

Philosopher, movie star, fighter, felon, vegan - 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 neighbourhood in Brooklyn, Tyson grew up to become one of the most thrilling and ferocious boxers of all time - and the youngest heavyweight champion ever. But his brilliance in the ring was often compromised by reckless behaviours. Years of hard partying, violent fights and criminal proceedings took their toll. by 2003, Tyson had hit rock bottom: a convicted felon, completely broke, the punch line to a thousand bad late-night jokes. Yet he fought his way back; the man who once admitted being addicted 'to-everything' battled to regain his success, his dignity and the love of his family.
   With a triumphant one-man stage show and his unforgettable performances in the Hangover films, Tyson's story is as inspiring as it is shocking.
   Brutally honest, raw and often hilarious, Tyson Chronicles his tumultuous highs and lows in the same sincere, straightforward manner we have come to expect from this legendary athlete. A singular journey from Brooklyn's ghetto to worldwide fame, then notoriety and, finally, to a tranquil wisdom, Undisputed Truth is not only a great sporting memoir but also an autobiography for the ages.
