Acerca de esta escucha

From the former heavyweight champion and New York Times best-selling memoirist comes an intimate look at the life and leadership lessons of Cus D'Amato, the legendary boxing trainer and Mike Tyson's surrogate father.

When Cus D'Amato first saw 13-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 best-selling memoir Undisputed Truth, he recounted the role D'Amato played in his formative years, adopting him at age 16 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' courageous fight against the mobsters who controlled boxing, revealing more than we've ever known about this singular cultural figure.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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)

Incredible

If you liked the Undisputed Truth, listen to this one. As a boxing trainer myself, I really appreciate Cus D’Amato’s teachings.

Incredibly moving

It seemed at times, that Mike himself was doing the narration, every once of emotion was there as I listened. There were times I laughed out loud and times I had tear in my eyes, it’s such a great and inspiring story and life these two men shared. I’m a 54 year old man, and it makes me want to push myself and be better in every way. Thank you for sharing your stories Mike. Much love to and your family.

Well done!!

The side of boxing few knew even existed. Mr D’Amato would be proud of how you presented him. He stuck to what was right even when he suffered. What an amazing book!

Another must have by Iron Mike

After reading "Undisputed Truth" this one was a must have. In this project Mike let's his audience deeper into his relationship with his father figure, Cus D'Amato, and into the life of a fearless man that set Mike into an incredible life. One has to wonder what kind of heights Mike had reached if Cus would have been blessed with a few more years of life. Rest in paradise Cus.
