{"product_id":"big-joe-egan-mike-tyson-9798436543871","title":"Big Joe Egan: The Toughest White Man on the Planet","description":"\u003cbr\u003eBy the age of 24, Big Joe Egan had over 80 boxing wins, 7 Irish titles and was a Golden Gloves champion. A mean body puncher with a durable chin, he went the distance with Lennox Lewis and beat future WBA champion Bruce Seldon.\u003cbr\u003eEncouraged by Floyd Patterson to try his luck in the USA, Joe joined 'Iron' Mike Tyson's training camp in the Catskill mountains with the great Cus D'Amato. Joe became like a brother to Mike, and, in this book, he gives a rare insight of the early Tyson, who after sparring with Joe described him as the Toughest White Man on the Planet.\u003cbr\u003eIn the UK, opening a pub pitted Joe against protection racketeers. Armed with guns, axes and machetes, the organised-crime gang attacked Joe's pub. During a battle worthy of Braveheart, Joe and his friends stood their ground, and Joe was shot. Tragically, Joe was charged with attempted murder.\u003cbr\u003eBig Joe Egan is a gripping, entertaining and uncompromisingly emotional account of how the Toughest White Man on the Planet could not be held down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Tyson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8436543874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798436543871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.48d","brand":"Mike Tyson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122917339391,"sku":"9798436543871","price":12.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd0430a5-33a4-4c5a-be79-c6b6605a5abf.jpg?v=1687427858","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/big-joe-egan-mike-tyson-9798436543871","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
