In camp with Mike Tyson, Andrew Golota and Gerry Cooney
Derek ‘Sweet D’ Williams reflects on sparring Mike Tyson, Andrew Golota and Gerry Cooney and the mindset required to succeed in a menacing environment
MY October of 1997 it seemed that the natural order of the heavyweight division had been restored. Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield were champions again. They had beaten Oliver McCall, Mike Tyson and Michael Moorer between them to emerge as the world’s dominant heavyweights. The only real remaining threat to their supremacy was Riddick Bowe, and he had been fortunate to escape with two disqualification victories against Andrew Golota the year before. “Big Daddy” looked completely shot in the rematch, being pummelled throughout and sustaining permanent damage. He wouldn’t fight again for another 18 years.
