Early years

Tyson was born in Brownsville, Brooklyn. His mother, Lorna Smith, was forced to provide for her family following the departure of his father, Jimmy Kirkpatrick,^[2] when Tyson was two. Tyson's reputation as a child was that he would assault anyone who ridiculed his high-pitched lisp. This was fueled by constant abuse from older children on the streets of Brownsville.^[2] Brownsville is a neighborhood in central Brooklyn, New York, predominantly Caribbean, Hispanic, and African-American. ...

Mike Tyson grew up in crime-infested neighborhoods of New York City. When he was 10 years old, his family moved to Brownsville where he lived with his siblings and mother.[1]

Mike Tyson has two siblings: a brother name Rodney Tyson and a sister Denise Tyson (married name Denise Anderson). Sister Denise passed away in her middle twenties. Brother Rodney, older by five years, is a physician's assistant in the trauma center of the Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center.^[3]

Rodney has always been very supportive of his brother's career and was often seen at Mike's boxing matches in Las Vegas. When asked about their relationship, Mike Tyson has been quoted saying, "My brother and I see each other occasionally and we love each other," and "My brother was always something and I was nothing."[2]

The closest person to Mike as he grew into childhood was his sister Denise, who died of complications at the age of 24. Reports indicated that Anderson, who weighed between 300 and 400 pounds, may have died of cardiac arrest. Tyson financially supported Denise's kids upon her death.

Tyson's mother, Lorna, had two other children from a previous relationship when Mike was born. The Tysons survived on welfare after Lorna's lover Jimmy Kirkpatrick walked away. As times grew harder they were forced out of their tenement in tough Bedford-Stuyvesant and into Brownsville, Brooklyn[3]. Tyson has been quoted saying, "I never saw my mother happy with me and proud of me for doing something: She only knew me as being a wild kid running the streets, coming home with new clothes that she knew I didn't pay for. I never got a chance to talk to her or know about her. Professionally, it has no effect, but it's crushing emotionally and personally." [4]Tyson's mother died when he was 16, and two years later, boxing manager and trainer Cus D'Amato became his legal guardian. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Tyson made his way through the streets of Brooklyn by mugging and stealing; by the age of 13, he had been arrested 38 times.^[4] He ended up at the Tryon School for Boys in Upstate New York. It was at the school that Tyson's raw boxing ability was discovered by Bobby Stewart, a juvenile detention center counselor and former boxer.^[2] As Tyson was an outstanding physical specimen, Stewart trained him for a few months and then introduced him to D'Amato.^[2] Look up Mugging in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... The areas highlighted in YELLOW and GREEN are those which are considered to be a bona fide part of Upstate New York from the perspective of New York City. ...

Tyson was later removed from reform school by D'Amato.^[5] He saw Tyson's potential and took over his training; he later became his legal guardian,^[2] and Tyson has often referred to his love for D'Amato as a father figure. Kevin Rooney also trained Tyson under D'Amato, and they were occasionally assisted by Teddy Atlas, who was dismissed by D'Amato when Tyson was 15. Rooney eventually took over all training duties for the young boxer.

Career

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 Olympics chances. In 1984 he was also the National Golden Gloves Heavyweight Champion.

Rise to stardom

Tyson made his professional debut on March 6, 1985, in Albany, New York. He defeated Hector Mercedes with a first round knockout.^[2] Fighting frequently in his first two years as a professional, Tyson won 26 of his first 28 fights by knockout--16 in the first round.^[7] The quality of his opponents gradually increased to journeyman fighters and borderline contenders,^[7] and his win streak attracted media attention, leading to his being billed as the next great heavyweight champion. D'Amato died in November 1985, relatively early into Tyson's professional career; some speculate that his death was the genesis of many of the troubles Tyson was to experience later as his life and career progressed.^[8] is the 65th day of the year (66th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Tyson's first nationally televised bout took place on February 16, 1986, at Houston Field House in Troy, NY against journeyman heavyweight Jesse Ferguson. Tyson knocked down Ferguson with an uppercut in the fifth round that broke Ferguson's nose.^[9] During the sixth round, Ferguson began to hold and clinch Tyson in an apparent attempt to avoid further punishment. After admonishing Ferguson several times to obey his commands to box, the referee finally stopped the fight near the middle of the sixth round. Initially ruled a win for Tyson by disqualification (DQ) of his opponent, the ruling was subsequently "adjusted" as a win by technical knockout (TKO) after Tyson's corner protested that a DQ win would end Tyson's string of knockout victories, and that a knockout would have been the inevitable result. The rationale offered for the revised outcome was that the fight was actually stopped because Ferguson could not (rather than would not) continue boxing. is the 47th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

At age 19, Tyson was around 221 lbs^{[citation needed]} (100 kg) with approximately 5.5% body fat, and was stocky for his height of 5 ft 11.5 in (182 cm). Because of Tyson's strength, many fighters were said to be too intimidated to hit him^[11] and this was backed up by his outstanding hand speed, accuracy, coordination, power, and timing. Tyson was also noted for his defensive abilities.^[12] Holding his hands high in the Peek-a-Boo style taught by his mentor Cus D'Amato, he slipped and weaved out of the way of the opponent's punches while closing the distance to deliver his own punches.^[12] One of Tyson's trademark combinations was to throw a right hook to his opponent's body, then follow it up with a right uppercut to his opponent's chin.

Undisputed Champion

Expectations for Tyson were extremely high, and he embarked on an ambitious campaign to fight all the top heavyweights in the world. Tyson defended his title against James 'Bonecrusher' Smith on March 7, 1987, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He won by unanimous decision and added Smith's World Boxing Association (WBA) title to his existing belt.^[13] 'Tyson mania' in the media was becoming rampant.^[14] He beat Pinklon Thomas in May with a knockout in the sixth round.^[15] On August 1 he took the International Boxing Federation (IBF) title from Tony Tucker in a twelve round unanimous decision.^[16] He became the first heavyweight to own all three major belts — WBA, WBC, and IBF — at the same time.

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.

Controversy and upset

During this period, Tyson's problems outside boxing were also starting to emerge. His marriage to Robin Givens was heading for divorce,^[21] and his future contract was being fought over by Don King and Bill Cayton.^[22] In late 1988, Tyson fired longtime trainer Kevin Rooney, the man many credit for honing Tyson's craft after the death of D'Amato.^[12] Without Rooney, Tyson's skills quickly deteriorated and he became more prone to looking for the one-punch knockout, rather than using the combinations that brought him to stardom.^[23] He also began to head-hunt, neglecting to attack the opponent's body first.^[24] In addition, he lost his defensive skills and began to barrel straight in toward the opponent, neglecting to jab and slip his way in.^[25] In 1989, Tyson had only two fights amid personal turmoil. He faced the popular British boxer Frank Bruno in February in a fight where Bruno managed to stun Tyson at the end of the 1st round,^[26] although Tyson went on to knock out Bruno in the fifth round.

By 1990, Tyson seemed to have lost direction, and his personal life and training habits were in disarray. In a fight on February 11, 1990, he lost the undisputed championship to James "Buster" Douglas in Tokyo.^[28] Tyson was a 1/42 favorite, but Douglas was at an emotional peak after losing his mother to a stroke 23 days prior to the fight, and fought the fight of his life.^[28] Tyson failed to find a way past Douglas's quick jab that had a 12-inch (30 cm) reach advantage over his own. Tyson did send Douglas to the floor in the eighth round, catching him with an uppercut, but Douglas recovered sufficiently to hand Tyson a heavy beating in the subsequent two rounds (after the fight, the Tyson camp would complain that the count was slow and that Douglas had taken longer than ten seconds to get to his feet).^[29] Just 35 seconds into the 10th round, Douglas unleashed a combination of blows that sent Tyson to the canvas for the first time in his career. He was counted out by referee Octavio Meyran.^[28] The knockout victory by Douglas over Tyson, the previously undefeated "baddest man on the planet" and arguably the most feared boxer in professional boxing at that time, has been described as one of the most shocking upsets in modern sports history.^[30] is the 42nd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

After the loss, Tyson recovered by knocking out contenders Henry Tillman^[31] and Alex Stewart^[32] 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.

Tyson, who was the #1 contender, faced #2 contender Donovan 'Razor' Ruddock on March 18, 1991, in Las Vegas. Ruddock at the time was seen as the most dangerous heavyweight around and is thought of as one of the hardest punching heavyweights ever. Tyson and Ruddock went back and forth for most of the fight, until referee Richard Steele controversially stopped the fight during the seventh round in favor of Tyson. This decision infuriated the fans in attendance, sparking a post-fight melee in the audience and the referee had to be escorted from the ring.^[33] Donovan Ruddock (born December 21, 1963 in St. ... is the 77th day of the year (78th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Tyson did not fight again until later in 1995. He had two comeback bouts against Peter McNeeley and Buster Mathis Jr., which he won easily.

The fight was purchased by 1.52 million homes, setting both PPV viewership and revenue records for that time.^[38] The brief 89 second fight wherein McNeeley swiftly crumpled on facing Tyson, elicited criticism that Tyson's management lined up "Tomato Cans," easily defeatable and unworthy boxers for his return.^[39] Hurricane Peter McNeeley (born October 6, 1968 in Boston, Massachusetts) is a former heavyweight boxer. ...

One bite was severe enough to remove a piece of Holyfield's right ear, which was found on the ring floor after the fight.^[53] Tyson later stated that it was retaliation for Holyfield repeatedly head butting him without penalty.^[46] In the confusion that followed the ending of the bout and announcement of the decision, a near riot erupted in the arena and several people were injured in the ensuing melee.^[54]

As a subsequent fallout from the incident, US$3 million was immediately withheld from Tyson's $30-million purse by the Nevada state boxing commission (the most it can legally hold back).^[55] Two days after the fight, Tyson issued a statement,^[56] apologizing directly to Holyfield for his actions and asked not to be banned for life over the incident.^[57] Tyson was roundly condemned in the news media but was not without defenders. Novelist and commentator Katherine Dunn wrote a column that criticized Holyfield's sportsmanship in the controversial bout and charged the news media with being biased against Tyson.^[58] The United States dollar is the official currency of the United States. ...

On July 9, 1997, Tyson's boxing license was revoked by the Nevada State Athletic Commission in a unanimous voice vote; he was also fined US$3 million and ordered to pay the legal costs of the hearing.^[59] The revocation was not permanent, as a little more than a year later on October 18, 1998, the commission voted 4-1 to restore Tyson's boxing license.^[60] is the 190th day of the year (191st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

1999 to 2005

After Holyfield

In January 1999, Tyson returned to the ring to fight the South African Francois Botha, in another fight that ended in controversy. While Botha initially controlled the fight, Tyson allegedly attempted to break Botha's arms during a tie-up and both boxers were cautioned by the referee in the ill-tempered bout. Botha was ahead on points on all scorecards and was confident enough to mock Tyson as the fight continued. Nonetheless, Tyson landed a straight right-hand in the fifth round that knocked out Botha.^[61] Francois Botha, also known as Frans Botha is a South African boxer, nicknamed the White Buffalo, Francois Botha has had a relatively distinguished career as a heavyweight boxer. ...

Legal problems caught up with Tyson once again. On February 6, 1999, Tyson was sentenced to a year's imprisonment, fined $5,000, and ordered to serve two years probation and perform 200 hours of community service for assaulting two motorists after a traffic accident on August 31, 1998.^[62] He served nine months of that sentence. After his release, he fought Orlin Norris on October 23, 1999. Tyson knocked down Norris with a left hook thrown after the bell sounded to end the first round. Norris injured his knee from the off-the-clinch-punch when he went down and said he was unable to continue the fight.

Tyson once again had the opportunity to fight for a heavyweight championship in 2002, against Lennox Lewis, who held the WBC, IBF and IBO titles at the time. As promising amateurs, Tyson and Lewis had sparred together at a training camp, in a meeting arranged by Cus D'Amato in 1984.^[69] Like the Holyfield fights, various circumstances in the 1990s delayed any earlier professional level match-up of Tyson with Lewis.^{[citation needed]} Tyson sought to fight Lewis in Nevada for a more lucrative box-office venue, but the Nevada boxing commission refused him a license to box as he was facing possible sexual assault charges at the time.^[70] Image File history File links Lewis-Tyson. ...

Two years prior to the bout, in a post-fight interview following the Savarese fight, Tyson had made several inflammatory remarks to Lewis, "I want your heart, I want to eat your children."^[71] On January 22, 2002, a brawl involving the two boxers and their entourages occurred at a press conference held in New York to publicize the planned event.^[72] The melee put to rest any chance of a Nevada fight and alternative arrangements had to be made, with the fight eventually occurring on June 8 at the Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tennessee. Lewis dominated the fight and knocked out Tyson in the eighth round. Tyson was magnanimous after the fight and praised Lewis on his victory.^[73] This fight was the highest-grossing event in pay-per-view history at that time, generating $106.9 million from 1.95 million buys in the USA.^[50][49] is the 22nd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...
