MIKE IRON TYSON made me love boxing, i started watching boxing because of tyson and up till today im not a fan of light weight boxing but a huge fan of heavy weight boxing.
Tyson was born in Brooklyn, New York, on June 30, 1966, Mike Tyson became the youngest heavyweight boxing champion of the world in 1986, at age 20. He lost the title in 1990 and later served three years in prison over rape charges. He subsequently earned further notoriety by biting Evander Holyfield's ear during a rematch in 1997. Tyson has gone on to appear in several films, including a documentary and Broadway show on his life. On March 6, 1985, Tyson made his professional debut in Albany, New York, against Hector Mercedes. The 18-year-old knocked Mercedes out in one round. Tyson's strength, quick fists and his notable defensive abilities intimidated his opponents, who were often afraid to hit the fighter. This gave Tyson the uncanny ability to level his opponents in only one round, and earned him the nickname "Iron Mike."
Though he ended up in alot of problems but tyson is an icon and a legend in boxing history and i get goosebumps and high level of excitement whenever i see his old videos
