The youngest champion in the heavyweight category.
▪️1966 American-born professional boxer Michael Gerard Tyson (Mike Tyson) is well known for his legendary boxing fights. Demonstrating his ability, Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in the WBC classification less than a year after starting professional boxing, when he was 20 years old. Tyson earned the nickname "Iron Mike" because he ended each bout ahead of schedule - by knockout.
There will be bad days that Tyson will experience, just as there will be fifteen bright and fifteen dark days. Imprisonment in 1992 and 1999 for violating the law negatively affected Tyson's boxing career. Iron Mike lost to Lennox Lewis in the 2002 World Cup.
