That sold me - I thought I was going to read a couple hundred pages of Mike Tyson telling insane stories. What I got was immeasurably better.This book is Mike Tyson's life story, in Mike Tyson's words, as told to a writer. It might not be the undisputed truth, but it is his truth, and it's his entire truth. It is brutally, unforgivingly honest, and while he has few kind words for the likes of King, Robin Givens, and Desiree Washington, no one fares worse in these pages than Tyson himself.Whatever you may think of Tyson, he is without a doubt one of the most fascinating sports figures of the past hundred years. He's a study in contradictions: a terrifying boxer with a temper that one could charitably describe as "mercurial" and yet he speaks softly, almost effeminately, with a lisp. The man said he was going to eat Lennox Lewis' children and praised Allah in the same sentence. He was paid tens of millions of dollars for fights that often lasted less than one round, and was bankrupt within ten years. Of course this guy's story is going to be great.But the two episodes in his life that he's most known for, his tumultuous (and allegedly abusive) marriage to Robin Givens, and his rape trial after a night with pageant contestant Desiree Washington gone horribly, irreversibly wrong, aren't glossed over. At all. If anything, he talks about them - the trial in particular - in detail that's simply uncomfortable. And it has to be. If he's to have any absolution, any redemption in the public's eye, he has to be able to tell his side of the story for those who want to hear it, those that wonder if perhaps his in-ring persona was unfairly turned against him.Undisputed Truth spends many, many chapters on how that persona developed, from both his cruel childhood on the streets of Brooklyn, to his being taught by Cus, the only father figure he'd ever known. Tyson's relationship with Cus is a well-known and oft-romanticized slice of boxing history, and the realization that everything that he learned from his childhood and from Cus that made him the tremendous fighter that he was being precisely what ensured his time at the top was so short and why he was so ill-prepared for life as Iron Mike had to have been painful to come to and write about.Whether you find Tyson as fascinating as I do, or want to learn more about the man behind the glove (and there's much, much more to him than I expected), or just want to know what in the world he was thinking with that tattoo, you absolutely must read this book. Don't expect 500+ pages of back-patting. All too often, memoirs are just a remembrance of happy times, rough patches smoothed over or omitted entirely. It's refreshing to read someone so well-known write something so unflinchingly honest about himself. This dives headfirst into the realm of absolute self-loathing. However much you might despise Mike Tyson for some of the things he's done in his life, he despises himself so much more for them.I want to think that this is the time he gets it right. That this is the time he has another chance and doesn't throw it away. That he's able to wipe away a little of the stain from his legacy, to be able to provide for his family, to find some peace. After reading his story, I'm not sure, but I'm rooting for him. Just like the old days. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ More than an autobiography: an experience *by W***1 on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2018* People who consider Mike Tyson to be a villain have never truly studied him, and have probably never encountered true villainy. Those who consider him to be a hero have never studied the real nature of heroism. And those who consider him to be an illiterate brute simply don't know what they're talking about. In my sixth decade, after a lifetime of reading, I think that "Undisputed Truth" is the most honest autobiography I've ever encountered. An official of the New York Public Library has likened it to Augustine's "Confessions," but perhaps a more apt comparison would be to "The Education of Henry Adams."Although I'm a boxing fan, I never liked Tyson when he was fighting. I believed, and still believe, that his boxing skills were vastly overrated. He was certainly not an ornament to the sport when he wore the heavyweight championship belt. But who, including Cus D'Amato, ever thought of this infinitely complicated man as merely "a boxer?" They thought of him as a wrecking machine, a savage, "the baddest man on the planet." He certainly did bad things, and was an utterly abysmal "role model" (something he never aspired to be), but he was more than that. Most people who know his story know of his beginnings in life, which were not merely humble, but squalid and unimaginable to most of us. (Charles Dickens would have understood.) And Tyson himself has never stopped talking about those beginnings, or about the heartaches and cruelties that molded him; but his recollections of a troubled youth and a scandalous young manhood have never taken the form of a whimper or a cry for sympathy. When cursing out virtually the entire human race at times, his outbursts have been genuine, inimitable howls of rage. But there's more to the man than the rage, and that's what this book is all about.Whether recounting his most scandalous missteps, or calmly reflecting on kindness, love, and his own lifelong search for such things, Tyson has always been, just perhaps,one of the most honest men on the planet. There are plenty of other candidates for the title "baddest."He is also a genuine intellectual: not necessarily someone gifted with a high I.Q., but a man to whom ideas matter: a man of vast reading and vast contemplation. In describing his adoration of his wife Kiki and his youngest children, he quotes a long love letter from Napoleon Bonaparte to his Josephine. He has not merely read such writers as Dostoevsky and Nietzsche, but has internalized and incorporated many of their ideas into his own life. Their books may gather dust on his shelves, but their ideas come to his lips as readily as a profanity or a sigh. It is typical of life's ironies that this "thug," this man who won the world's acclaim by battering others with his fists, is in fact a man of ideas. This book tells very little of the history of boxing, but it is stunning and unexpected in its honesty. The title is perfect.Note: Tyson's stage show of the same name, and its adaptation by Spike Lee, bears virtually no relationship to the book. In the show, Tyson is a wisecracking entertainer; in the book, he is a naked soul, and as complex as a soul can be. It is unclear from the heart-rending epilogue whether or not Tyson has yet attained happiness. If not, one cannot read this book without hoping that he does so. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who would have thought-such a great book from a person with such a rough reputation? *by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2019* This is a 596 page book that I was not able to put down, but I had to since I couldn't read that much in one sitting or I would have. It is a great book. An intelligent book and makes for fascinating reading. I was able to identify with Mike so many times, and for that reason the book helped me understand some of the problems that I have been working out in my personal life. One of the reviewers of the book (LA Times) said that Tyson's book was a "masterpiece of confessional honesty," and for me the reader's perception of the honesty embedded in the narrative has great deal to do with the fact that I found it so difficult to put down. The book bleeds. What a story! So many people trying to take advantage of him throughout his life. So much greed and selfishness on the part of those surrounding him. So many struggles on his part with various kinds of addictions. It's all here with no holds barred. "...like watching a Charles Dickens street urchin grow up to join Hunter S. Thompson on a narcotic-filled road trip." (LA Times again) This is a spellbinding memoir, one of the most frank and heartfelt of our times. I think that it is the lucidity of the narration of all the good and bad in his life that captures the reader so much. A difficult but rewarding book. A glimpse into a great man's soul. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/119964377-undisputed-truth-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/119964377-undisputed-truth-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
