À propos de cet audio

 From the former heavyweight champion and New York Times bestselling author comes a powerful look at the life and leadership lessons of Cus D’Amato, the legendary boxing trainer and Mike Tyson’s surrogate father.

“[Iron Ambition] spells out D'Amato's techniques for building a champion from scratch.” – Wall Street Journal

When Cus D’Amato first saw thirteen-year-old Mike Tyson spar in the ring, he proclaimed, “That’s the heavyweight champion of the world.” D’Amato, who had previously managed the careers of world champions Floyd Patterson and José Torres, would go on to train the young Tyson and raise him as a son. D'Amato died a year before Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history.

In Tyson’s bestselling memoir Undisputed Truth, he recounted the role D’Amato played in his formative years, adopting him at age sixteen after his mother died and shaping him both physically and mentally after Tyson had spent years living in fear and poverty. In Iron Ambition, Tyson elaborates on the life lessons that D’Amato passed down to him, and reflects on how the trainer’s words of wisdom continue to resonate with him outside the ring. The book also chronicles Cus’s courageous fight against the mobsters who controlled boxing, revealing more than we’ve ever known about this singular cultural figure.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“In this tender and disturbing hybrid of memoir and biography, former heavyweight boxing champion Tyson examines one of the most unusual characters in boxing history…. Tyson’s love for Cus D’Amato is more than apparent, but it doesn’t lead him to downplay his teacher’s myriad faults.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"The boxing champion, infamous for biting and beating, reveals his soft side in this memoir of his longtime mentor and trainer.... [Tyson] writes respectfully and affectionately [about Constantine 'Cus' D'Amato], though some of the old toughness hangs on.... A belated but welcome homage to a boxing legend who died shortly before Tyson's career took off. Fans of the sweet science will want to have a look."
—Kirkus Reviews

This was a great book. Made me feel as though I in some way, could relate to Tyson. Very well written and the narration was impeccable. The delivery was ferocious.

Mike's time with Cus was my favorite part of Undisputed Truth so when I heard he'd released a second book just about Cus I was quite excited. while I really enjoyed it initially I kind of got lost following the history of his battle against the IBC and his time with Patterson. just introduced a lot of characters and felt like it jumped around a lot.

interesting for sure but convoluted.

Interesting info, but beginning and end focus on Mike Tyson, the other 60-70% is on context for Cus and history of boxing.

Good, but most of content is on Cus’s background

This was a terribly long and unappealing read, I skipped through most of the book.
This book is not about Mike Tyson. It’s about Cus and his garage with the IBC in the 60s, way before mike Tyson was even born. I it’s just a bunch of dates details and uninteresting events so long and boring. Do not waste your time.
