Mike Tyson

Modèle:Infobox Boxer Michael Gerard Tyson (born June 30 1966) is a former two-time American world heavyweight boxing champion and is the youngest man to have won a world heavyweight title as well as lose one. During his prime in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Tyson was considered one of the greatest heavyweights and one of the most recognizable athletes in the world. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/609111.stm Tyson shows power of prayer], BBC News, 2000-01-18, Retrieved on 2007-05-03.</ref><ref>Mike Tyson goes Bollywood, CBC.ca Arts, 2007-04-13, Retrieved on 2007-05-03.</ref> For his behavior both in and out of the ring, ESPN has ranked Tyson as the #1 Most Outrageous Character in modern sports history as determined by a panel of experts and an internet poll.<ref>ESPN25: The 25 Most Outrageous Characters, ESPN25.com, Retrieved on 2007-04-01.</ref>//news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/609111.stm Tyson shows power of prayer], BBC News, 2000-01-18, Retrieved on 2007-05-03.</ref><ref>Mike Tyson goes Bollywood, CBC.ca Arts, 2007-04-13, Retrieved on 2007-05-03.</ref> For his behavior both in and out of the ring, ESPN has ranked Tyson as the #1 Most Outrageous Character in modern sports history as determined by a panel of experts and an internet poll.<ref>ESPN25: The 25 Most Outrageous Characters, ESPN25.com, Retrieved on 2007-04-01.</ref>

Trained by Hall of Fame trainer Cus D'Amato early in his career, Tyson unified the belts in the splintered heavyweight division in the late 1980s and won many of his fights by knockout. Tyson knocked out his first 19 professional opponents within six rounds, stopping 12 of them in the first round. He reigned as undisputed heavyweight champion for over two years before losing in a shocking upset to Buster Douglas in 1990. He was convicted of raping a beauty pageant contestant in 1992, and after being released from prison in 1995, he engaged in a series of comeback fights before losing in another upset, this time to Evander Holyfield. In 1997, his rematch with Holyfield ended when Tyson bit off a portion of Holyfield's ear in retaliation for what he perceived as intentional headbutts. He fought for a championship again at the age of 35, losing by knockout to Lennox Lewis in 2002. After losing two consecutive bouts to journeymen, Tyson retired from competitive boxing in 2005. He has since engaged in a series of exhibition bouts in a tour across the US to pay his numerous debts. Despite receiving over US$30 million for several of his fights and $300 million over his career, Tyson declared bankruptcy in 2003.

Amateur career

As an amateur, Tyson amassed a 24-3 record and was considered a formidable opponent and prime candidate to represent the USA in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. However, two losses to Henry Tillman ended his chances to represent the US in the Olympics. In 1984 he was also the National Golden Gloves Heavyweight Champion. www.askmen.com/men/sports_60/67c_mike_tyson.html Mike Tyson], Askmen.com, Retrieved on 2007-03-27.</ref>//www.askmen.com/men/sports_60/67c_mike_tyson.html Mike Tyson], Askmen.com, Retrieved on 2007-03-27.</ref>

Tyson had three fights in 1988. He faced an aged but still game Larry Holmes on January 22 1988, and defeated the legendary former champion by fourth round knockout.<ref>Berger, Phil (1988), "Tyson Keeps Title With 3 Knockdowns in Fourth," The New York Times, Sports Desk, Late City Final Edition, Section 1, Page 47, Column 5, 1988-01-23.</ref> This was the only knockout loss Holmes suffered in 75 professional bouts.

(1988), "Tubbs's Challenge Was Brief and Sad", The New York Times, Sports Desk, Late City Final Edition, Section A, Page 29, Column 1, 1988-03-22.</ref>

On June 27 1988, Tyson faced Michael Spinks. Spinks, who had taken the heavyweight championship from Larry Holmes via a 15-round decision in 1985, had not lost his title in the ring but was not recognized as champion by the major boxing organizations. Holmes had previously given up all but the IBF title, and that was eventually stripped from Spinks. However, Spinks did become the lineal champion by beating Holmes and many (including Ring magazine) considered him to have a legitimate claim to being the true heavyweight champion. Tyson knocked out Spinks in 91 seconds of the first round.<ref>Berger, Phil.

After Douglas

After the loss, Tyson recovered by knocking out contenders Henry Tillman<ref>Berger, Phil (1990), "TYSON WINS IN 1st ROUND", The New York Times, Sports Desk, Late Edition-Final, Section 8, Page 7, Column 4, 1990-06-17.</ref> and Alex Stewart<ref>Berger, Phil (1990), "BOXING; Tyson Scores Round 1 Victory", The New York Times, Sports Desk, Late Edition-Final, Section 8, Page 1, Column 5, 1990-12-09.</ref> in the first round in his next two fights. Tyson's victory over the 1984 Olympics Boxing Heavyweight gold medalist (and 1983 Boxing Heavyweight silver medalist of the Pan American Games) Tillman enabled Tyson to avenge his early career amateur losses at Tillman's hands. These bouts set up an elimination match for another shot at the undisputed world heavyweight championship, which Evander Holyfield had taken from Douglas in his first defense of the title.

Legacy

Although Tyson was considered a formidable champion during his prime, his apparent lack of discipline and self control, both in and out of the ring, led to a series of personal problems as well as periods of imprisonment. After being released from prison in 1995, Tyson failed to reclaim his previous dominance during his heavily anticipated comeback. His greatest impact upon the boxing world was as a fighter during the 1980s, as the latter part of his career was overshadowed by controversy, although he eventually regained two title belts. A 1998 ranking of "The Greatest Heavyweights of All-Time" by Ring magazine placed Tyson at #14 on the list.<ref>Modèle:Cite book</ref>
