The Holyfield Way

Jim Thomas has written a compelling account of Evander Holyfield and the world of boxing from an insider's perspective. Thomas offers a backstage look at the innerworkings of how fights are negotiated and the many players, often questionable, that make these multi-million dollar affairs a reality. From Don King to Mike Tyson and the "Bite Fight" this is a quick and fascintaing read. Highly recommended!
