It all began with an art school photography assignment: Lori Grinker was shooting a project on young boxers under th guidance of the legendary trainer Cus D'Amato. Her main focus became a nineyearold 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 a then 13yearold Mike Tyson. Lori'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. Over the next decade Lori would photograph the coterie that surrounded MikeCus's funeral, going home to Brownsville, old friends, trips abroad, in hotel suites before and after fights, his hookup 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.
