Still a month out, but dear lord, thank you for @jonathaneig

Baddest Man by @MarkKriegel reviewed by @chicagotribune: "Do not think of this as a boxing book, but boxing does make a colorful and primal backdrop for a uniquely American book, filled with enough mentors and monsters to do any Dickens novel justice.” chicagotribune.com/2025/07/08/bad…
.@ShakurStevenson is the best fighter on the card. Why’s he in the co-main? espn.com/boxing/story/_…
Of fighting and surviving, 'Baddest Man' is a soaring biography of Mike Tyson. Author Mark Kriegel writes, “Glory is a long shot in any boxing story … Even as Tyson became boxing’s greatest-ever attraction, his doom seemed a lock." chicagotribune.com/2025/07/08/bad…

🥊Terrific review from the iconic @rickkogan. You think you don't need another book about Tyson, but we do. @MarkKriegel's "Baddest Man" is not really about boxing which is exactly what makes the man, and the sport, so compelling. (And of course, I could've named the current hvwt…

"How have you raised the level of competitive eating, especially for women?"
"...it is a study of Tyson’s DNA, the damaged building blocks that led to such a tortured and triumphant life...a trip inside Tyson's bloodstream." Well, you made my July 4th, @thomloverro - go.shr.lc/3Ielzf2 - @washtimes
I spent seven years as the Chief Investigative Correspondent for CBS News and eight as a contributing correspondent to 60. This Paramount settlement is the nadir for the network - a breach of the public trust Murrow, Cronkite, Hewitt and thousands of us worked decades to build.
6/28/88: the @nypost backpage crystallizes the idea of Mike Tyson. Fight lasts 1:31 - a little more than Buffer’s Trump intro, but still 4 fewer seconds than Jeffrey Osborne’s anthem. If you want to know how Tyson got there - all that went into that moment - I got a book for you.
It’s been a decade since Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. opened up to me about his father and addiction. Now that he’s fighting @jakepaul, what’s changed? via @ESPN App espn.com/boxing/story/_…
Man, thank you for that.
I'd like to second Bill's words here. Everyone who follows this account should read @MarkKriegel's book. I'm almost finished and I've actually started slowing down my pace a little because I don't want it to end too quickly. The second one is gonna be wild, that's for sure!

Baddest Man: The Making of Mike Tyson, by @MarkKriegel, is electric, and riveting. amazon.com/Baddest-Man-Ma…
Thank you, Bill. Appreciate that
Just when you thought that everything that could be written about Mike Tyson had been written, along comes BADDEST MAN: THE MAKING OF MIKE TYSON by @MarkKriegel. A familiar story retold by the right author becomes vital again. Excellent work.
Blown away by the quality of Baddest Man, the new Tyson book by @MarkKriegel - irishtimes.com/sport/boxing/2…
POD: @MarkKriegel joins to discuss his new book about @MikeTyson. Kriegel on Cus D’Amato, Tyson’s celebrity, and the buzz before his fights. Also, writing about flawed athletes and not wanting to give the money back. pod.fo/e/2ea28d
In a graphic video that has since gone viral on social media, about 7 or more masked men wearing U.S. Border Patrol vests are seen violently detaining a Santa Ana father before forcing him into the back of an unmarked car. Details: ktla.com/news/local-new…
I'm about halfway through this book, but I can say with certainty it's another great one by Mark Kriegel (@MarkKriegel).
