Her main focus became a nine-year-old boxer, Billy Hamm. While photographing him, Cus wandered over and asked why Lori was shooting that kid, when the bigger kid in the corner working a speed bag would one day be the heavyweight champion of the world! The kid was then 13-year-old, Mike Tyson.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nLori's early boxing photographs of Mike Tyson are without peer--little exists from that era and all of Grinker's work is personal with uniquely privileged access in and out of the ring.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nOver the next decade Lori would photograph the coterie that surrounded Mike; Cus's funeral, going home to Brownsville, old friends, trips abroad, in hotel suites before and after fights, his hook-up with Robin Givens, their wedding, their divorce, and the training and fights in between until Tyson's first defeat--the Buster Douglas fight in 1991. This is a side of the Mike Tyson story rarely seen or shared.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lori Grinker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e powerHouse Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781576877760","brand":"powerHouse Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39827406323827,"sku":"9781576877760","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_89f9224e-5ef2-42db-8f59-442b2bdf0488.jpg?v=1644567227","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/mike-tyson-1981-1991-9781576877760","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
