Craig “Boogie” Jones presents
True stories behind the King & Iron Mike
40 years of the good, the bad & the ugly. A firsthand memoir, a cultural time capsule, a cautionary tale — now a book and an illustrated ebook.
The logline
Craig ‘Boogie’ Jones takes readers inside four decades surrounding Don King and Mike Tyson: the victories, the loyalty, the pressure, the broken trust, and the stories that never made the headlines.
The story
Ambition, access and the making of a champion.
Fame, money and power at their highest point.
Loyalty tested as relationships and fortunes shift.
What survived — and what the next generation should know.
The King
A force who could turn a fight into a global spectacle — and every room into a stage.
Iron Mike
A young fighter became the most feared man in boxing — then had to survive everything surrounding the crown.
The story moves beyond the ring: friendship, vulnerability, celebrity, control and reinvention.
Told with honesty, humanity and the perspective of someone who was there.
Craig’s point of view
Told from the hallways, dressing rooms, late-night calls and relationships behind the public spectacle — a memory-driven journey through triumph and fallout that invites reflection, not easy answers.
The archive
Archival photographs from the illustrated ebook: pressure, relationships, reinvention — every chapter reveals another side of life around the crown.
The book & the illustrated ebook
It is about power, loyalty, fame, survival — and the price of standing close to greatness. The illustrated ebook pairs firsthand narration with archival photographs; the print edition carries the full four-part memoir.
Also developing as a premium documentary event — seeking production, distribution and strategic partners.
