Who is Tyson?
Mike Tyson is a former American professional boxer, widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight fighters of all time. Born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, Tyson rose to fame in the 1980s with his ferocious fighting style, speed, and knockout power. He became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at age 20 when he won the WBC title in 1986. He later unified the WBA and IBF titles, becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion.
Tyson's career was marked by both incredible success and controversy. He suffered a shocking defeat to Buster Douglas in 1990, served time in prison in the mid-'90s, and made a comeback in the late '90s. He was involved in infamous moments such as the 1997 ear-biting incident against Evander Holyfield.
Beyond boxing, Tyson has reinvented himself in entertainment, acting, podcasting, and business. His autobiography Undisputed Truth and his one-man stage show provided insights into his tumultuous life. Today, he remains a cultural icon.
