Boxing legend Mike Tyson was one of the most fearsome and brutal knockout artists in the history of the sport. The former heavyweight champion was known for his devastating power and immaculate technique striking fear into the hearts of opponents who could not even think to match him in his prime. His aura added a layer of invincibility into ‘Iron Mike’ with many believing he would go down as one of the greatest to ever do it and he did.

However, he was caught up with his own issues outside the ring which eventually led to his downfall in the sport.

Despite this, there was a time when Tyson was unbeatable in and out of the ring under the tutelage of his coach and adopted father Cus D’ Amato who instilled a monster in Tyson. This was necessary as ‘Iron Mike’ needed to be projected as a killer if he wanted to stand toe to toe with the elite.
