This biography of the now-notorious Tyson is a compelling exposé of secrets, misconceptions, hype, greed – and racism.
Montieth Illingworth presents an intensely researched portrait of the man and the boxer. Having known him well since 1989, Illingworth gained a unique insight into Tyson’s thoughts and feelings on a wide variety of subjects his relationship with his guardian and trainer Cus D’Amato; the emotional impact of his stormy marriage to Robin Givens; his adventures with Donald Trump; his trust in promoter Don King; and his struggles with the burden and trappings of celebrity.
Featuring a full appraisal of his extraordinary trial and conviction of rape – this is a book that intrigues and shocks from beginning to end.
Mike Tyson Text Only Edition eBook Monteith Illingworth
In short, this highly detailed biography on perhaps the most controversial boxer in history is an absolute masterpiece.Illingworth did an exceptional job summarizing the life of Mike Tyson. Almost everything on Tyson is covered. From his troubled youth to his rise to stardom, and ultimately, his downfall; the shocking knock out loss to James "Buster" Douglas and later, his rape conviction of a beauty pageant.
Illingworth also exposes the business side of Tyson's career. The contracts, the deals with ABC and HBO, the multi-million dollar figures, the lawsuits, etc... Other subjects include Tyson's self-destructive lifestyle, his marriage and divorce to actress Robin Givens, his conflicts with Don King, heck even Donald Trump is included in this book!
Other important figures mentioned in this book include Tyson's mentor and father-figure, the late Cus D'Amato, Teddy Atlas (Tyson's trainer in his amateur days), Kevin Rooney (Tyson's trainer in his early pro-career), Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton (Tyson's managers in his early-pro career), Don King (the controversial promoter), Bob Arum (a rival promoter of Don King), and Robin Givens (Tyson's first wife).
The fact that this book was released in late 1991 makes it even more interesting because it was written well before the infamous ear-biting incident, the threats of eating Lennox Lewis' children, and other outrageous behaviours.
Overall, I found this book to be well-balanced and accurate. The research that went into this book is undeniable.
I give this book 5 stars and strongly recommend it to anyone who is interested in Mike Tyson. You'll get more than what you bargained for.
Great book!

Mike Tyson Text Only Edition eBook Monteith Illingworth Reviews
Very good read
grandson thought it was very interesting
This review is a decade overdue but since Mike Tyson has now written an autobiography I felt Illinworth's all-but-forgotten biography deserved to be resurrected. I bought this book on sale about ten years after it was published and couldn't put it down. It's an eye-opening portrait of a man whose image bore little resemblance to who he really is. In the twenty odd years since it was written the "real" Mike Tyson has lived up to Illingworth's assessment.
i found this book to be really interesting.mike tyson love or loath him you can't ignore him.and this book puts alot of things into perspective about the man and the myth.all his ups&downs are on display in this book and much much more.the people around him have there own interest at heart.after cus d'amato things got really wild&crazy.after all these years mike tyson is still one of the most compelling figures in sports history ever.
In short, this highly detailed biography on perhaps the most controversial boxer in history is an absolute masterpiece.
