About Mike Tyson
Mike TysonMichael Gerard "Mike" Tyson (born June 30, 1966) is a retired American boxer. Nicknamed, 'Iron Mike', Tyson was the undisputed heavyweight champion and remains the youngest ever, to win the WBC, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles. He won the WBC title at just 20 years, 4 months and 22 days old, after defeating Trevor Berbick by a TKO in the second round. Throughout his career, Tyson became well-known for his ferocious and intimidating boxing style as well as his controversial behavior both inside and outside the ring.
He was the first ever heavyweight champion to hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles simultaneously. Tyson is still considered, in his prime, to be amongst the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time.
Nicknamed "Kid Dynamite" and "Iron Mike", Tyson won his first 19 professional bouts by knockout, 12 in the first round. He unified the belts in the splintered heavyweight division in the late 1980s to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Tyson would reach his pinnacle of his career when he quickly knocked out Michael Spinks, who prior to the fight was also undefeated, in 91 seconds of the first round. Some boxing historians feel that on that day, Mike Tyson may have been able to knock out any heavyweight boxer. Spinks fell to a quick hard right to the chin and it seemed the heavyweight division was at Tyson's knees. However, fame, fortune, marital troubles, and Don King would cause the champ to lose focus and eventually cause Tyson to engage in his ill-prepared fight with Buster Douglas. Tyson lost his title to 42-to-1 underdog, Buster Douglas on February 11, 1990, in Tokyo, Japan, by KO in round 10.
In 1992, Tyson was convicted of sexually assaulting Desiree Washington, for which he served three years in prison. After being released from prison in 1995, he engaged in a series of comeback fights. He regained a portion of the heavyweight title; the WBC title by brutally knocking out Frank Bruno by TKO in the 3rd round. Next, fell Bruce Seldon, in the first round by TKO thus making Tyson the WBA champion as well. Tyson would lose his two titles to Evander Holyfield in a 1996 fight by an 11th round TKO after Tyson claimed to receiving several head-butts from Holyfield that cut Tyson under the eye and caused him to black out several times. Their 1997 rematch ended in shocking fashion as Tyson was disqualified for biting off part of Holyfield's ear. Tyson who made Holyfield's head-butting apparent to the referee, Mills Lane, was irrate after he claimed the same head-butting was occurring, and reacted outrageously by biting Holyfield in the ear twice, this resulting in Tyson's disqualification and loss to that match. He fought for a championship again at 35, losing by KO in the 10th round to Lennox Lewis in 2002. Tyson retired from competitive boxing in 2006 after two consecutive knockout losses to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride. Tyson declared bankruptcy in 2003, despite receiving over US$30 million for several of his fights and $300 million during his career.
He is ranked #16 on Ring Magazine's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time.
