Book Review: Undisputed Truth - Mike Tyson

Undisputed Truth, is the autobiographical life story of one of boxing's, & sports, most godlike figures, Mike Tyson. No holds are barred in this book. Tyson's story details his journey from a poverty stricken kid in Brownsville (by the time he was 13, he had been arrested 38 times!), to, at the age of 20, becoming the youngest heavyweight champion of all time & then, after an excess & drug addiction, back to being broke.
He tells all about his very public relation & subsequent break up with actress Robin Givens, his 3 year prison stint in the early 90's, his business relationship with promoter Don King & that biting incident with Evander Holyfield.
Some of his stories are very humorous, including encounters with a young Brad Pitt & with boxer Mitch Green, & his tales of excess spending & sex romps are so ludicrous that his life starts to sound like a Hollywood movie.
This is book is a great read, & i can recommend it for not only sports fans, but those who want an insight into the mind of the greatest entertainers of our time.
