robin givens and mike tyson interview: THE MAKING OF MIKE TYSON Janet C. Morgan, From the brutal streets of Brooklyn to the pinnacle of boxing greatness—discover the untold story behind the youngest heavyweight champion in history. Mike Tyson wasn't born a legend. He was forged by chaos, violence, and the genius of a man who saw greatness in a thirteen-year-old criminal. This is the complete, unvarnished truth about how Iron Mike became the most feared fighter on the planet. What transformed a troubled street kid into boxing's most devastating force? In Brownsville—one of America's most dangerous neighborhoods—young Michael Gerard Tyson learned that survival meant becoming the predator before someone made you the prey. After 38 arrests by age 13, most would have written him off. But when reform school counselor Bobby Stewart recognized the raw potential beneath the rage, everything changed. Enter Constantine Cus D'Amato, the legendary trainer who declared this angry teenager would become heavyweight champion of the world. Living in D'Amato's Catskill home with surrogate mother Camille Ewald, Tyson underwent a complete transformation—physically, mentally, and spiritually. From his revolutionary peek-a-boo fighting style to his record-breaking championship reign, from devastating knockouts to shocking defeats, from prison cells to Hollywood redemption—this is Tyson's complete story like never before told. Boxing fans, sports biography enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by stories of transformation will be captivated by this definitive account. Discover how a boy who terrorized Brooklyn became the man who terrorized heavyweight boxing—and how he rebuilt himself when everything fell apart. Ready to step into the ring with Iron Mike?

robin givens and mike tyson interview: Bitch Elizabeth Wurtzel, 2012-10-17 From the author of the bestselling Prozac Nation comes one of the most entertaining feminist manifestos ever written. In five brilliant extended essays, she links the lives of women as demanding and disparate as Amy Fisher, Hillary Clinton, Margaux Hemingway, and Nicole Brown Simpson. Wurtzel gives voice to those women whose lives have been misunderstood, who have been dismissed for their beauty, their madness, their youth. Bitch is a brilliant tract on the history of manipulative female behavior. By looking at women who derive their power from their sexuality, Wurtzel offers a trenchant cultural critique of contemporary gender relations. Beginning with Delilah, the first woman to supposedly bring a great man down (latter-day Delilahs include Yoko Ono, Pam Smart, Bess Myerson), Wurtzel finds many biblical counterparts to the men and women in today's headlines. She finds in the story of Amy Fisher the tragic plight of all Lolitas, our thirst for their brief and intense flame. She connects Hemingway's tragic suicide to those of Sylvia Plath, Edie Sedgwick, and Marilyn Monroe, women whose beauty was an end, ultimately, in itself. Wurtzel, writing about the wife/mistress dichotomy, explains how some women are anointed as wife material, while others are relegated to the role of mistress. She takes to task the double standard imposed on women, the cultural insistence on goodness and society's complete obsession with badness: what's a girl to do? Let's face it, if women were any real threat to male power, Gennifer Flowers would be sitting behind the desk of the Oval Office, writes Wurtzel, and Bill Clinton would be a lounge singer in the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock. Bitch tells a tale both celebratory and cautionary as Wurtzel catalogs some of the most infamous women in history, defending their outsize desires, describing their exquisite loneliness, championing their take-no-prisoners approach to life and to love. Whether writing about Courtney Love, Sally Hemings, Bathsheba, Kimba Wood, Sharon Stone, Princess Di--or waxing eloquent on the hideous success of The Rules, the evil that is The Bridges of Madison County, the twisted logic of You'll Never Make Love in This Town Again--Wurtzel is back with a bitchography that cuts to the core. In prose both blistering and brilliant, Bitch is a treatise on the nature of desperate sexual manipulation and a triumph of pussy power. |
robin givens and mike tyson interview: Ezzard Charles William Dettloff, 2015-06-12 Greatness is often overlooked in its own time. For Ezzard Charles--one of boxing's most skilled practitioners, with a record of 93-25-1 (52 KO)--recognition took decades. Named by The Ring magazine as the greatest light heavyweight of all time, Charles was frustrated in his attempts to get a shot at the 175-pound title, and as World Heavyweight Champion (1949-1951) struggled to win the respect of boxing fans captivated by Joe Louis' power and charisma. This first-ever biography of The Cincinnati Cobra covers his early life in a small country town and his career in the glamorously dirty business of prizefighting in the 1950s, one of the sport's Golden Ages. Charles' fights with Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott, Rocky Marciano and his three wins over the legendary Archie Moore are detailed. |

robin givens and mike tyson interview: Life Story of Mike Tyson Ayir Amrahs, 101-01-01 This book follows the full arc of Mike Tyson’s life—not just the knockouts and controversies, but the hidden fears, personal battles, and hard-earned insights beneath the surface. From a bullied Brooklyn boy who found solace in pigeons to a global icon of power and later a symbol of collapse, Tyson’s journey reflects the collision of trauma, talent, and transformation. Told in twelve vivid chapters, it captures both the roar of boxing rings and the quiet of personal reckoning—graveside tears, prison conversations, and late-night self-reflection. Rather than offering easy answers, the book poses enduring questions about identity, anger, resilience, and redemption. Through Tyson’s flawed yet human path, readers are encouraged to see their own struggles more clearly. The voice is clear and direct, the story fast-paced yet thoughtful. This is not a book about boxing alone, but about what it means to rise, fall, and still find meaning in getting back up. |
robin givens and mike tyson interview: Mental Jaime Lowe, 2017-10-03 A riveting memoir and a fascinating investigation of the history, uses, and controversies behind lithium, an essential medication for millions of people struggling with bipolar disorder. It began in Los Angeles in 1993, when Jaime Lowe was just sixteen. She stopped sleeping and eating, and began to hallucinate—demonically cackling Muppets, faces lurking in windows, Michael Jackson delivering messages from the Neverland Underground. Lowe wrote manifestos and math equations in her diary, and drew infographics on her bedroom wall. Eventually, hospitalized and diagnosed as bipolar, she was prescribed a medication that came in the form of three pink pills—lithium. In Mental, Lowe shares and investigates her story of episodic madness, as well as the stability she found while on lithium. She interviews scientists, psychiatrists, and patients to examine how effective lithium really is and how its side effects can be dangerous for long-term users—including Lowe, who after twenty years on the medication suffers from severe kidney damage. Mental is eye-opening and powerful, tackling an illness and drug that has touched millions of lives and yet remains shrouded in social stigma. Now, while she adjusts to a new drug, her pursuit of a stable life continues as does her curiosity about the history and science of the mysterious element that shaped the way she sees the world and allowed her decades of sanity. Lowe travels to the Bolivian salt flats that hold more than half of the world’s lithium reserves, rural America where lithium is mined for batteries, and tolithium spas that are still touted as a tonic to cure all ills. With unflinching honesty and humor, Lowe allows a clear-eyed view into her life, and an arresting inquiry into one of mankind’s oldest medical mysteries. |
robin givens and mike tyson interview: Mike Tyson: Iron and Fury , 2024-11-20 Mike Tyson: Iron and Fury tells the explosive and inspiring story of a man who rose from the gritty streets of Brownsville, Brooklyn, to dominate the global stage as one of the most iconic and controversial figures in sports history. Known as Iron Mike, Tyson’s life has been a relentless fight—both inside the ring and out. This biography delves deep into the triumphs and tragedies of a man whose unparalleled knockout power and raw ferocity changed the sport of boxing forever. From his meteoric rise as the youngest heavyweight champion in history, forged under the guidance of legendary trainer Cus D’Amato, to his fall from grace marked by scandal, prison, and financial ruin, Tyson’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. The narrative captures the raw intensity of Tyson’s battles in the ring and the deeply personal struggles he faced beyond it. His reign of terror over the heavyweight division, culminating in unforgettable fights against legends like Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, cemented his status as a boxing titan. But Tyson’s story doesn’t end in the ring. It follows him through the dark chapters of his life—his incarceration, his battles with addiction, and his public controversies—before chronicling his remarkable redemption. As a father, cultural icon, and entrepreneur, Tyson has reinvented himself in ways few could have imagined. This book also brings readers up to date with Tyson’s incredible 2024 comeback fight against Jake Paul, a clash that reignited the world’s fascination with his enduring legacy. At 58 years old, Tyson once again stepped into the ring, defying expectations and proving that his fighting spirit remains unbroken. From his ventures into entertainment and cannabis entrepreneurship to his candid reflections on life, faith, and mortality, Tyson’s story is one of resilience and transformation. Mike Tyson: Iron and Fury is not just a biography of a legendary boxer but an exploration of the man behind the gloves—a complex, flawed, and fiercely determined individual who refused to stay down. With gripping storytelling and unparalleled insight, this book offers an unforgettable journey through the iron will and fiery spirit that define Mike Tyson, a true force of nature and one of the most compelling figures of our time. |

robin givens and mike tyson interview: Talk Show Dick Cavett, 2010-11-09 The legendary talk show host’s humorous reminiscences and pointed commentary on the great figures he has known, and culture and politics today. For years, Dick Cavett played host to the nation’s most famous personalities on his late-night talk show. In this humorous and evocative book, we get to hear Cavett’s best tales, as he recounts great moments with the legendary entertainers who crossed his path and offers his own trenchant commentary on contemporary American culture and politics. Pull up a chair and listen to Cavett’s stories about one-upping Bette Davis, testifying on behalf of John Lennon, confronting Richard Nixon, scheming with John Updike, befriending William F. Buckley, and palling around with Groucho Marx. Sprinkled in are tales of his childhood in Nebraska in the 1940s and 1950s, where he honed his sense of comic timing and his love of magic. Cavett is also a wry cultural observer, looking at America today and pointing out the foibles that we so often fail to notice about ourselves. And don’t even get him started on politicians. A generation of Americans ended their evenings in Dick Cavett’s company; Talk Show is a way to welcome him back. “Do you know that age-old question, If you could have dinner with anyone in the world, living or dead, who would it be? Well, assuming Santa Claus is unavailable, my answer would be Dick Cavett. After reading Talk Show, you could just imagine what a conversation with him would be like: pleasant, insightful, and oddly erotic. Dick Cavett is a legend and an inspiration to me.” —Jimmy Fallon |
robin givens and mike tyson interview: A Natural History of Human Emotions Stuart Walton, 2007-12-01 A “fresh and entertaining” survey of the human emotional landscape—and how it has shifted over the centuries (Kirkus Reviews). Using Charles Darwin’s survey of emotions as a starting point, Stuart Walton’s A Natural History of Human Emotions examines the history of each of our core emotions—fear, anger, disgust, sadness, jealousy, contempt, shame, embarrassment, surprise, and happiness—and how these emotions have influenced both cultural and social history. We learn that primitive fear served as the engine of religious belief, while a desire for happiness led to humankind’s first musings on achieving a perfect utopia. Challenging the notion that human emotion has remained constant, A Natural History of Human Emotions explains why, in the last 250 years, society has changed its unwritten rules for what can be expressed in public and in private. Like An Intimate History of Humanity and Near a Thousand Tables, Walton’s A Natural History of Human Emotions is a provocative examination of human feelings and a fascinating take on how emotions have shaped our past. |
robin givens and mike tyson interview: Iron Ambition Mike Tyson, Larry Sloman, 2018-05-22 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. |

robin givens and mike tyson interview: The Rulebreaker Susan Page, 2024-04-23 The definitive biography of the most successful female broadcaster of all time—Barbara Walters—a woman whose personal demons fueled an ambition that broke all the rules and finally gave women a permanent place on the air, written by bestselling author Susan Page. Barbara Walters was a force from the time TV was exploding on the American scene in the 1960s to its waning dominance in a new world of competition from streaming services and social media half a century later. She was not just a groundbreaker for women (Oprah announced when she was seventeen that she wanted to be Barbara Walters), but also expanded the big TV interview and then dominated the genre. By the end of her career, she had interviewed more of the famous and infamous, from presidents to movie stars to criminals to despots, than any other journalist in history. Then at sixty-seven, past the age many female broadcasters found themselves involuntarily retired, she pioneered a new form of talk TV called The View. She is on the short list of those who have left the biggest imprints on television news and on our culture, male or female. So, who was the woman behind the legacy? In The Rulebreaker, Susan Page conducts 150 interviews and extensive archival research to discover that Walters was driven to keep herself and her family afloat after her mercurial and famous impresario father attempted suicide. But she never lost the fear of an impending catastrophe, which is what led her to ask for things no woman had ever asked for before, to ignore the rules of misogynistic culture, to outcompete her most ferocious competitors, and to protect her complicated marriages and love life from scrutiny. Page breaks news on every front—from the daring things Walters did to become the woman who reinvented the TV interview to the secrets she kept until her death. This is the eye-opening account of the woman who knew she had to break all the rules so she could break all the rules about what viewers deserved to know. |
robin givens and mike tyson interview: Crazy as Hell: The Best Little Guide to Black History Hoke S. Glover III, V. Efua Prince, 2024-06-04 By turns hilarious, candid, and heartbreaking, this powerful book takes the straitjacket off Black history. A refreshing, insightful, sacrilegious take on African American history, Crazy as Hell explores the site of America’s greatest contradictions. The notables of this book are the runaways and the rebels, the badass and funky, the activists and the inmates—from Harriet Tubman, Nina Simone, and Muhammad Ali to B’rer Rabbit, Single Mamas, and Wakandans—but are they crazy as hell, or do they simply defy the expectations designated for being Black in America? With humor and insight, scholars and writers V. Efua Prince and Hoke S. Glover III (Bro. Yao) offer brief breakdowns of one hundred influential, archetypal, and infamous figures, building a new framework that emphasizes their humanity. Including an introduction by MacArthur Fellow Reginald Dwayne Betts and peppered with little-known historical facts and PSAs that get real about the Black experience, Crazy as Hell captures the tenacious, irreverent spirit that accompanies a long struggle for freedom. |

robin givens and mike tyson interview: Tyson-Douglas John Johnson, Bill Long, 2008-02-28 No one gave James Buster Douglas much of a chance when he faced Iron Mike Tyson on February 11, 1990, in the Tokyo Dome. Tyson was Godzilla, and Buster wasn't expected to be anything more than a moth for Tyson to swat away, much less Mothra. Douglas had four losses already and 42-1 odds against him in this bout. One reporter, going through Japanese customs, announced he was in town for business. When asked how long he would be working, he laughed and responded Oh, about a minute. The match lasted longer than that, though. When it was over, it was the greatest upset in boxing history. Buster Douglas was the new heavyweight champion of a shocked, surprised, and stunned world. Here is the inside story of just how the biggest of underdogs, dealing with the recent death of his mother, dethroned the invincible Tyson. John Johnson, Douglas's manager for this slugfest and most of his career, takes the reader into the ring in Tokyo and details the beginning of Douglas's career - how he positioned himself to be the champ - as well as the post-fight fall that started with a loss in his first defense of the title. Johnson and coauthor Bill Long interviewed people who were in the ring, at ringside announcing the match, and in the crowd both covering the bout or just watching it for the expected devastation. Announcers Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant, and Sugar Ray Leonard discuss their memories, and men in both corners detail the in-fight machinations for both Tyson and Douglas. Mike Tyson's loss to Buster Douglas truly rocked the world and threw heavyweight boxing into a tumult that still resonates today. |
