Michael Gerard "Mike" Tyson
(born June 30, 1966) is an 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.

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.

Tyson competed at the 1982
Junior Olympic Games,
where he won a silver
medal, after the loss in the
finals against Petr Palecek,
an amateur Czech boxer.
He holds the Junior Olympic
quickest knockout record
with 8 seconds. In addition
he won every bout at the
Junior Olympic Games by
knockout.
 He fought Henry Tillman
twice as an amateur losing
both bouts by close
decision. Tillman went on to
win heavyweight Gold at
the Los Angeles Olympics.


Expectations for Tyson were extremely high, and he embarked
on an ambitious campaign to fight all the top heavyweights in
the world. Tyson defended his title against James Smith on
March 7, 1987, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He won by unanimous
decision and added Smith's World Boxing Association (WBA) title
to his existing belt. 'Tyson mania' in the media was becoming
rampant. He beat Pinklon Thomas in May with a knockout in the
sixth round. On August 1 he took the International Boxing
Federation (IBF) title from Tony Tucker in a twelve round
unanimous decision. He became the first heavyweight to own all
three major belts — WBA, WBC, and IBF — at the same time.
Another fight in 1987 was in October that ended with a victory
for Tyson by knockout in the seventh round, against 1984
Olympics Super Heavyweight Gold Medallist Tyrell BiggsAlso in
1987, Nintendo released the video game, Mike Tyson's PunchOut!!, for its Nintendo Entertainment System.

Tyson did not fight again until
later in 1995 after he was
paroled from prison. He had two
comeback bouts against Peter
McNeeley and Buster Mathis Jr.,
which he won easily. Interest in
Tyson's first comeback fight since
his incarceration was high
enough that it grossed more
than US$96 million worldwide,
including a United States record
$63 million for PPV television. The
fight was purchased by 1.52
million homes, setting both PPV
viewership and revenue records
for that time. The brief 89 second
fight wherein McNeeley swiftly
crumpled on facing Tyson,
elicited criticism that Tyson's
management lined up "Tomato
Cans," easily defeatable and
unworthy boxers for his return.
