Mike Ty Sen was born on June 30, 1966 in Brooklyn, New York (a black residential area in New York). The days he lived through were full of ups and downs and constant surprises. Because he lived in dark and impoverished Brooklyn, Tyson developed a strong body from an early age, which laid a solid physical condition for his future boxing career.

In 1979, 13-year-old Tyson met a very famous boxing coach--Cus D'Amato--in a gym in Catskills, New York. In the days that followed, Tyson began his formal boxing training and achieved an amateur record of 24 wins-3 losses. At this time, Tyson was attracting attention because of his strength and punching speed. The famous boxing magazine at the time once said that Tyson would definitely become a heavyweight superstar. On March 6, 1985, Mike Tyson knocked out his opponent Hector Mostis in the first round in his first professional fight. Since then, Tyson has set his sights on the heavyweight title. In that year, Tyson achieved a perfect record of winning 12 games and knocking down 12 times.

Two years later, after achieving 27 consecutive victories, Tyson finally got the opportunity to challenge the boxing champion. November 22, 1986, people who love boxing will remember this day. On this day, a talented boy knocked out former WBC boxing champion Trevor Berbick in 6 minutes and won the WBC The title of heavyweight boxing champion. Tyson was only 20 years old at the time.

The young Tyson was not satisfied with the status quo. His dream was to unify the heavyweight boxing titles of the three major boxing organizations and achieve Ali's achievement. With superhuman talent, Tyson never stopped in the boxing world. On March 7, 1987, Tyson stole the WBA heavyweight title belt from James Smith. On August 1 of the same year, Tyson defeated Tony Tucker and won the IBF heavyweight title. At this point, Tyson, who holds the heavyweight boxing championship belts of the three major boxing organizations, is still less than 21 years old.

After six title defenses since then, Tyson’s match with Michael Spinks can be described as a classic. In this fight, Tyson earned $20 million in just 91 seconds. After this battle, Tyson became the most profitable athlete in the world, the most recognized boxing champion in the world, and the best boxing champion in the history of boxing.

However, the good times did not last long. In 1990, Tyson unexpectedly lost the match against Douglas, causing the biggest upset in boxing history. On March 18, 1991, Tyson met Razor Ruddock. Of course, although Razor Ruddock was a brave fighter, he still had to surrender to the north under Tyson's iron fist. On June 28 of the same year, they collided again. Of course, Razor Ruddock still surrendered to Tyson's iron fist.

In 1992, due to well-known reasons, Tyson had to take time to say goodbye to boxing. In 1995, Tyson returned. On August 19 of that year, Tyson once again used his iron fist to announce to the world at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas that he was not decadent because of being in prison. He was still the same person he was four years ago. On November 16 of the same year, in Philadelphia, the United States, Tyson once again demonstrated his devastating punches.

On March 16, 1996, also at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Tyson regained the long-lost WBC boxing title. Poor Bruno lost to Macheng. Tyson's comeback does not focus on this. He wants to unify the three major boxing organizations again. On September 7 of the same year, at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Tyson took just 1 minute and 59 seconds to win the WBA gold belt from Bruce Shenton. It is a pity that Tyson met Holyfield when he was about to unify the three major boxing organizations. The MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas was no longer Tyson's place to show off his skills. The cunning Lao Huo made full use of Tyson's weaknesses and won the game. In the match a year later, Tyson still failed to find Holyfield's weakness, so he went crazy and did something that the world is ashamed of.

The time came in 1999. After taking a break, Tyson finally found a little bit of the feeling he had back then. On January 23, he knocked out Bosa. On November 23, still at the MGM Grand Hotel, Tyson defeated Orlin Norris.

After entering the new millennium, Tyson held his first boxing match in London, England. In less than 2 rounds, Tyson ended the fight. I really can’t believe that Francis’s big body can’t survive without a fight! On June 24, in Scotland, Tyson defeated Savarese in just 38 seconds and won the USBA and IBA boxing titles. On November 20, 2000, Tyson proved his strength with his iron fist. The hopeless Grutta had to withdraw from the game at the end of the third round.

Old people often say that they eat more salt than we eat rice and walk on more bridges than our roads, but I think the ups and downs that Tyson experienced in his short life of more than 30 years may be Much more than we have in a lifetime, becuase he is Tyson.

In 1978, 12-year-old Tyson was arrested for stealing a wallet.

In 1979, the boxing coach at the New York State Boys’ Correctional Institution introduced Tyson to D’Amato. D'Amato coached Floyd Patterson to the heavyweight boxing world championship.

October 15, 2001 Tyson, who specialized in fighting weaklings, was a "soft persimmon" again. He beat Nelson until his face was bloody in 6 rounds. The referee had to stop the fight and awarded Tyson the victory.

Mike Tyson will have to fight in the days to come, and he will have to fight often, because he is already extremely poor. He won the lawsuit against Don King and received a mere $14 million in basic settlement. It doesn't meet his urgent needs.

Tyson filed a lawsuit with Don King, his former agent, claiming US$100 million. Originally expecting to make a fortune, the former heavyweight champion of the world discovered that there was actually no money in sight as he then had to repay debts to various creditors, the Internal Revenue Service, and his ex-wife. Monica, the total amount reached $38.4 million. In order to pay other people's debts, Tyson's lawyers have planned to file for bankruptcy in federal court in New York.

Today, the 38-year-old Tyson is facing bankruptcy and lives in a small house in Phoenix, where he trains. Two of his other homes in Las Vegas are waiting to be sold, and at the same time, the court has begun proceedings to use bankruptcy court funds to pay off his numerous debts. If the bankruptcy court judge agrees to the bankruptcy petition filed by Tyson's attorney, Donkin will first pay $8 million, followed by $3 million each in January 2005 and January 2006.

In fact, Tyson had hoped to win higher damages in his lawsuit against Don King. He accused Don King of stealing approximately 100,000 pounds from him while promoting events for him after he was released from prison in 1995. $100 million. But while Tyson's lawyers are confident of winning the case, they have expressed concerns about how persuasive Tyson himself will be as a witness during the trial, and the likelihood that Don King will win over the jury with his charisma. For Don King, this lawsuit also allowed him to bid farewell to the former boxing champion. Since Don King currently controls most of the top heavyweight boxing championship games, it is very likely that he will never arrange a game for Tyson again. .

The only thing that makes Tyson slightly satisfied is that his first fight in 17 months was finally officially announced at a press conference on Wednesday, and his opponent will be Danny Williams. St. Louis, held at the Liberty Palace in Louisville on July 30, this game will allow Tyson to earn millions of dollars to pay off his debts. Assuming Tyson can beat the British fighter, he will soon be able to get other fight opportunities, possibly against lightweight champion Antonio Taweel or Lemon Brewster, who is holding the weight of the WBO level championship title.

"Tyson hopes to put everything in the past behind him and believes he can become a champion again." Tyson's agent, Shelly Finkel, said. “And that would be a great story again.
