The story of the relationship between the most devastating heavyweight boxer in history and the
mentor who made him. When legendary boxing trainer Cus D'Amato saw thirteen-year-old Mike Tyson
spar in the ring  he proclaimed 'That's the heavyweight champion of the world.' D'Amato played
a huge role in Tyson's formative years  legally adopting him at age sixteen  and shaping him
both physically and mentally after years of living in poverty. He would train the young boxer
for several years  dying just months before Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in
history. In Iron Ambition  Tyson shares 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 know about this singular cultural figure.
