For those of us who weren’t around when Mike Tyson was in the prime of his life, allow me to give you a quick lesson.
A name synonymous with raw power, controversy, and undeniable talent, Mike Tyson has carved a unique space in boxing history. Turning professional in 1985, Tyson quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with. His ferocious in-ring persona, coupled with his devastating punching power, earned him nicknames like "Iron Mike" and "Kid Dynamite." He won his first 19 fights by knockout, 12 in the first round, culminating in capturing the heavyweight title at the age of 20, becoming the youngest ever heavyweight champion. By 1988, he was the first heavyweight boxer to unify the three major boxing titles (WBA, WBC, and IBF) and the only person to ever do so in succession.
After retiring from boxing in 2005, Tyson embarked on a journey of self-discovery. He explored acting, stand-up comedy, and even hosted his own podcast, "Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson."
Cordeiro's post is a reminder that Tyson still has what it takes as a boxing icon. Tyson is an inspiration to many fighters, and his legacy will continue to inspire for generations to come.
