Mike Tyson aka 'Iron Mike' aka "The baddest man on the plant" is a former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. He made his professional debut at the tender age of 18. By the age of 20, Tyson became the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA, and IBF heavyweight titles and the first to hold them simultaneously. The young titan began his career by winning his first 19 bouts by knockout. If you weren't in your seat early, you may have missed the fight due to his 12 first round knockouts. Tyson was known for his strength, speed, accuracy, timing, coordination, and overall power. His boxing prowess has led many to believe that he was the last great heavyweight fighter. His overwhelming success in the ring quickly led to many accolades and national media attention. A popular video gaming company even released a boxing game with his namesake that went on to sell over a million copies. Mike Tyson is one of the greatest boxers of all time and Ring Magazine has Tyson on their list of "The Greatest Heavyweights of All-Time", their "Best Fighters of the Last 80 Years", and their "100 greatest punchers of all time".
