Last night I picked up Blood Sport: Mike Tyson and the world of boxing by Phil Berger. Great read so far. It's about Mike Tyson but also talks in detail about the heavyweight division and all of the deal making going on at the time, getting into HBO, Don King, Bob Arum, Gerry Cooney and Michael Spinks. I just finished the part dealing with Marvis Frazier and the background to his fight with Tyson. The author's habit of using the third person to describe himself and calling himself Sly is rather annoying but otherwise the book is enjoyable.
