    I got my copy preowned and they kept the Ketchell tooth... I however have one of Walcotts missing finger pieces! Trade?

    He was in Philadelphia for the Gvozdyk Beterbiev weight in. He was a very nice man. Sat at our table with my wife a reporter friend who writes for ESPN in the UK and myself. I got a signed pic from the other two fellas too.

    Did Usyk say anything interesting? Great ambassador of the sport, very professional I’m not a fan of the laser shows and costumes but other then that he is a professional devoid of senseless drama. Loved how he let AJ get his composure after a slip and didn’t just jump on him made me a big fan watching him take the greatest prize in sports!

    I greeted him in Ukrainian which he smiled at and greeted me back that way. He took the time to sit at our table and dedicate a few pics to me I printed out even though you could tell he was in a hurry. Shook his hand got a pic and he rolled. Nice experience and impression

    For humor value, I've often wondered about the writing of that book. I suspect it involved Tyson sitting down with a ghost-writer, a tape recorder, and a shitload of weed. Wait for Tyson to get blazed, ask him questions, see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

    Sort of like his podcast goes sometimes.

    That’s exactly why I wanted to read it.

    I can see that being the case. It wouldn’t help to have Mike in his normal mental state he’s a fidgety guy who gets annoyed really quickly seems like an introvert honestly at least when he’s blazed he can sit still and give credible responses.

    Your copy will need lots of attention, but if you remember to feed it and take it for regular exercise, you can expect a very loyal book.

    I started watering my Walcott fingers and it's starting to look less like a pair of stumps and more like a hand.

    Stay tuned for updates!
