Michael Gerard Tyson (born June 30, 1966) is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1985 to 2005. Nicknamed "Iron Mike" and "Kid Dynamite" in his early career, and later known as "The Baddest Man on the Planet", Tyson is considered to be one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time.[6] He reigned as the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990. Tyson won his first 19 professional fights by knockout, 12 of them in the first round. Claiming his first belt at 20 years, four months, and 22 days old, Tyson holds the record as the youngest boxer ever to win a heavyweight title. He was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, as well as the only heavyweight to unify them in succession. The following year, Tyson became the lineal champion when he knocked out Michael Spinks in 91 seconds of the first round. In 1990, Tyson was knocked out by underdog Buster Douglas in one of the biggest upsets in history.

In 1992, Tyson was convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in prison, although he was released on parole after three years. After his release in 1995, he engaged in a series of comeback fights, regaining the WBA and WBC titles in 1996 to join Floyd Patterson, Muhammad Ali, Tim Witherspoon, Evander Holyfield and George Foreman as the only men in boxing history to have regained a heavyweight championship after losing it. After being stripped of the WBC title in the same year, Tyson lost the WBA title to Evander Holyfield by an eleventh round stoppage. Their 1997 rematch ended when Tyson was disqualified for biting Holyfield's ears, one bite notoriously being strong enough to remove a portion of his right ear. In 2002, Tyson fought for the world heavyweight title, losing by knockout to Lennox Lewis.

Tyson was known for his ferocious and intimidating boxing style as well as his controversial behavior inside and outside the ring. With a knockout-to-win percentage of 88%, he was ranked 16th on The Ring magazine's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time,[14] and first on ESPN's list of "The Hardest Hitters in Heavyweight History". Sky Sports described him as "perhaps the most ferocious fighter to step into a professional ring". He has been inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame and the World Boxing Hall of Fame.

    No matter what people say about Mike's era of boxing, the fact that he faced off against legit heavyweights who towered over and massively outweighed him, and regularly threw them across (and sometimes out) of these rings with nothing but his fists, can never be taken from him.
  • @REDDEVIL9269
    Boxing will never be the same this was the golden era
  • @beatles
    What i love about Tyson is his heart. He helps his opponents get up. He still set boundaries between him and his dark side. Even though his knocking people out.
  • @Flodhesten
    The fact that you hear the punches land on such old recordings sends chills down my spine
  • There'll never be another mike tyson. He was a force to be reckoned with. A prime mike tyson would have ragdolled any person on the planet.
  • @Stevesautopartsify
    Mike's body shot, uppercut combo was the best in boxing 🥊 history!
  • @FakieFam
    Tyson put people down so easy he got me layin in bed, cheeto dust on my fingers, feelin like I could knock people out too.
  • @alext7776
    He’s got powerful punches true, but what amazes me is his mobility, speed, and technique. You throw a punch at Tyson you just get your jaw jacked after he slips and plants his foot his foot on the other side of you(all before you even recover the first punch).
  • @shaunl446
    Tyson fights were like nothing before or since. You did NOT miss his fights even though you knew they might only last a few minutes because you knew you were witnessing greatness. A legend for the ages.
  • @Macfierce1
    The last great era of boxing. He was remarkable. It only took one shot. Just one and you were absolutely done. And he punched so fast you could barely see the thing connect absent a slow-motion replay. The GOAT.
  • @reaganmabry9809
    5 foot 10 and he was still knocking out these behemoths. Absolute legend
  • @sostfu4429
    Anyone that says that can beat him in his prime is insane 😂😂😂 he is The Goat 🐐
  • @markymaxwell5549
    I loved it when the commentator said "that's it, Goodnight" 😂😂😂
  • @doodle20
    I truly appreciate how he always checked on his opponent after the fight. That shows true sportsmanship.
  • @jhard94
    His footwork was insane. All of his knockouts were just so violent. This man was special and if Cus never died, he never goes off the deep end and loses a fight. The death of Cus destroyed this man.
  • @CarnieGamer
    Death, Taxes, and Mike Tyson not knowing which corner to go to when he knocks someone down.
  • @floridamaddogg
    Tyson made a mockery of every fighter he faced in the 80s. He made every fighter look weak. He made Berbek look like a beginner and he was current heavy weight champion in the world. Tyson was just 20. Unbelievable!
