Any books or videos regarding the mental aspect of boxing/fighting?

I recently watched a Tyson interview where he talked about his relationship with Cus and how Cus would talk to him about the mentality of fighting. Obviously, Tyson came into fights with a mind set that benefited him. Are there any books or movies out there that anyone might no of that talks about something similar to this?

Mind Gym is a great sports psychology book. No BS or technical mumbo jumbo in it, just simple, concise points. I found reading it to be very worthwhile.

Sheridan (A Fighter's Heart) examines what contributes toward a successful mental approach in professional fighting, interviewing people such as mixed martial arts icon Randy Couture, legendary college wrestling coach Dan Gable, and tai chi master Josh Waitzkin. The author gains some interesting insights from his investigation. Losing, it turns out, is a crucial component behind a fighter's success. Confidence is fine, but ego is an evil thing, with humility being a great equalizer. Those interested in pugilistic psychology may find some value in Sheridan's reporting; for others, too often the sources' lessons sound similar, and the book frequently drifts into a lengthy, somnolent discourse on fighting styles. Sheridan also can't stay out of his own way; his first-person prose is clunky and long-winded. His misguided attempt to merge elements of memoir and sports journalism derails the book, keeping it from succeeding in either genre. (Feb.)

I know they arent books or videos but these articles by Rosstraining are really good, all four are about the mental aspects of boxing. I like to reread them every so often to keep my mentality in check.
