Covering Mike Tyson s complete amateur and professional boxing career, this book follows the Brooklyn native from his early years as a 12 year old criminal in Brownsville to his 1988 heavyweight unification match with Michael Spinks. The book focuses on the Catskill Boxing Club - where boxing guru Cus D Amato trained the 210-pound teenager in the finer points of the art and developed his impregnable defense - and on his home life with D Amato and his surrogate mother Camille Ewald, and the other boys who shared the house with him.Tyson s boxing education began in the unauthorized smokers held in the Bronx every week, matching his skills against older, more experienced fighters. He won the 1981 Amateur Heavyweight Boxing Championship in Colorado Springs at the age of 14, and repeated the amazing feat the following year. By 1985, finding no other challenging amateur competition, he was forced to join the professional ranks where, in November 1986, he became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history. Less than two years later, he unified the crown, establishing himself as one of the most dominant heavyweight fighters in the annals of the game. Codice articolo BTE9780786496488
