From The New School Center for New York City Affairs:
Mike Tyson, photos by Lori Grinker (Professor of Journalism); powerHouse Books.
On an art school assignment in the early 1980s, Grinker asked legendary trainer Cus D’Amato about up-and-coming boxers. He pointed to a 13-year-old working a speed bag, saying he’d one day be world heavyweight champion. So began a decade-long inside photo chronicle of Tyson’s rapid rise to fame, that shows him in his marriage and divorce with Robin Givens, at home on the streets of Brownsville, and in training and in boxing rings around the world.
