<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>David Benavidez: Net Worth 2023</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Phoenix, Arizona-born David Benavidez </span><span style="font-weight: 400">has participated in twenty-six fights and has not lost any in a career that started in 2013. Most of his initial matches occurred in Tijuana, Mexico, or his hometown Phoenix, Arizona. Barring the few key fights recently, details regarding his earnings from the rest remain hard to find.</span>

[caption id="attachment_569442" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-569442" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210302112643/GettyImages-1171862592.jpg" alt="David Benavidez" width="1920" height="1328" /> LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 28: David Benavidez (red/green trunks) reacts after defeating Anthony Dirrell (not in frame) after a corner stoppage in their WBC Super Middleweight Championship fight at Staples Center on September 28, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images)[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">Hence, perusing multiple portals to gauge his net worth, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-david-benavidez-net-worth-how-much-does-he-make-per-fight/">without endorsements or bonuses, puts it near $2 to $5 million</a>.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Some crucial matches that rewarded him handsomely include the first bout against <strong>Ronald Gavril</strong> in September 2017, for which he took home nearly $400k. Then again, two years later, the match against <strong>Anthony Dirrell</strong> that fetched his second world title made him richer by $1 million.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Last year, for the bout in May against Canadian boxer <strong>David Lemieux</strong>, Benavidez reportedly received $350k and 60% of the earnings made through PPV sales.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">There?s still a lack of details on the David Benavidez - approved services and goods. Nonetheless, in 2018, he was offered a sponsorship deal by renowned boxing promoter <strong>Bob Arum</strong>?s Top Rank, and he initially signed on the dotted line for $250k after agreeing to the proposal. Nevertheless, he changed his mind, refunded the cash, and canceled the deal.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Benavidez reportedly has some stakes in the clothing business. He sells his line of products, including tees, sweatpants, caps, and more, that appeal to fans of all ages. However, it remains futile to ascertain the true worth of his merchandise venture.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>David Benavidez?s childhood and early life</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">David Benavidez was born on December 17, 1996, in Phoenix, Arizona, to a Mexican father and mother with Ecuadorian and Dominican ancestry. Details regarding his mother remain unavailable. However, per available sources, his parents divorced when David and his elder brother <strong>Jose Benavidez Jr.</strong> were young.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Jose Benavidez Sr.</strong>'s father came from Mexico, where he lived in poverty. At age eleven, he went to the U.S. He worked through the streets in California, eventually settling with his family in Arizona.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Just like his elder brother Jose Benavidez Jr. David picked up the nuances of boxing from his father, who left his hotel job to become a full-time boxing trainer. Their father said young David would watch videos of greats like <strong>Marco Antonio Barrera</strong>, ?Prince? <strong>Naseem Hamed</strong>, and <strong>Roy Jones Jr.?</strong></span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He would wake up for early morning jogs. From age eight, he started participating in amateur tournaments. However, their parents' separation resulted in David and his sister living with their mother, while Jose Benavidez Jr. went along with their father.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Without his father?s supervision, David Benavidez started passing his time binging on food and putting on weight. By age twelve, he weighed around 260 lbs. However, things changed when he eventually moved to Los Angeles in 2010 to pick up boxing from where he had left.?</span>

[caption id="attachment_569436" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-569436" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210302112435/GettyImages-1170869462.jpg" alt="David Benavidez" width="1920" height="1444" /> LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 24: Fighter David Benavidez in the ring during a media workout at LA Live on September 24, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images)[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jose Benavidez Sr. and his sons are proud of their Mexican heritage. He said, </span><span style="font-weight: 400">?</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">I grew up watching Oscar De La Hoya fight on Mexican Independence Day.</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">? Though usually associated with countries like the U.S.A., Britain, or Russia, Boxing remains hugely popular in Mexico.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The country has consistently produced first-rate boxers from <strong>Oscar De La Hoya</strong>, <strong>Julio Cesar Chavez</strong>, <strong>Erik Morales</strong>, <strong>Canelo Alvarez</strong>, and many others. David Benavidez epitomizes the Mexican boxing style, characterized by sheer aggression. Recently, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-what-role-does-david-benavidezs-brother-jose-benavidez-jr-play-in-michael-b-jordans-creed-iii/">Jose Benavidez Jr. appeared in the latest edition of the <em>Creed</em> franchise,<em> Creed III</em></a>.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>David Benavidez?s family</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Together since 2019, David Benavidez and his wife <strong>Karina Silva</strong> are proud parents to <strong>Anthony Benavidez</strong>. Silva reportedly has dabbled in modeling and is a social media influencer as well.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">She is also an entrepreneur based out of Seattle, Washington state. So far, she has launched two businesses, the brick-and-mortar ?Dress In Love? store and an internet outlet called ?The Shoe Closet.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Her Instagram page also alludes to a company called ?Nudes by Karina,? which claims to sell ?premium shapewear.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">David Benavidez?s elder brother Jose Benavidez Jr. was born in Panorama City, California, on May 15, 1992. He took to boxing at age two or three. Later, he won eleven national championships, including the Silver Gloves twice. He also competed at the national Junior Olympics and was selected by the U.S. national team.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">At age sixteen, Benavidez Jr. became the youngest Golden Gloves champion, winning in the Light Welterweight division. His amateur record stands at one hundred and twenty wins against only five losses. He turned professional in 2010 and became the WBA (Interim) Light Welterweight champion in 2014. His professional record stands at twenty-seven wins against two losses.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400"><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-is-david-benavidez-married-wife-girlfriends-and-other-details/">His son Anthony is just two years old</a>. Hence it is too early to predict whether he will follow in his father?s footsteps or carry on the family boxing legacy. However, in videos uploaded on YouTube, he could be seen punching a bag.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>David Benavidez?s boxing career</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jose Benavidez Sr. introduced his younger son, David, to boxing when he was three. By the time he was eight, the latter had started winning amateur bouts. Unfortunately, his parents? separation proved detrimental to his progress.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Living with his mother and sister, David Benavidez took to wrong food habits. As a result, by turning twelve, he weighed nearly 250 - 260 lbs. However, he decided to take a stand. At age thirteen, overweight, he relocated to Los Angeles to be with his father and elder brother and, more importantly, get wholly invested in boxing.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">His amateur record stands at fifteen wins against nil losses. On August 17, 2013, barely sixteen, Benavidez knocked out<strong> Erasmo Mendoza</strong> in the first round of his professional debut. Two years later, he won his first title NABF Junior Light Heavyweight.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">On September 8, 2017, he scored a split decision victory over Romanian boxer Ronald Gavril and became the WBC (Vacant) Super Middleweight title holder. A few months later, he repeated the feat against Gavril and defended his title.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">His next big break came on September 28, 2019, when he defeated Anthony Dirrell to win his second world title WBC Super Middleweight. Though he breached the weight limits and, as a result, parted with the belt, he still defeated Roamer <strong>Alexis Angulo</strong> on August 15, 2020.?</span>

[caption id="attachment_569440" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-569440" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210302112559/GettyImages-632954260.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1277" /> LAS VEGAS, NV - JANUARY 28: Referee Russell Mora (L) poses with David Benavidez after Benavidez defeated Sherali Mamajonov in a super middleweight fight at MGM Grand Garden Arena on January 28, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Benavidez won the fight with a second-round TKO. (Photo by Steve Marcus/Getty Images)[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">During the next three fights, he knocked down all the opponents, which included the bout against David Lemieux that fetched his third title, WBC (Vacant) Interim Super Middleweight.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>David Benavidez?s signature boxing techniques</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">By all accounts, it?s clear that David Benavidez is a classic swarmer who prefers pushing his opponents to either a corner or the ropes and then unleashing heavy punches pulverizing their defenses.?</span>

<b>Combination Puncher:</b>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Benavidez pushes the opponents towards the ropes in one of his signature moves. Once trapped, he lets loose a volley of devastating shots to the head or body, one after the other. The technique is highly effective since it confuses the opponent as to which shot will come next. But it also compels him into a more defensive approach that could lead to more mistakes.</span>

<b>Hard Body Hitter:</b>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He usually throws a lot of angular hooks and uppercuts on the body that invariable forces the foe to let the guards down. He has often proven that apart from relying on sheer strength, he can be lightning-fast.? So he quickly follows it up with headshots.</span>

<b>Aggressive boxing style</b><span style="font-weight: 400">:</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">David Banvidez uses a high guard to protect his face. However, the technique is also proper where the foe, considering it an advantage, goes for an attack and throws several unnecessary shots, most of which land on Benavidez?s gloves or forearms.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Then with a fast catch counter, he takes the opponent by surprise. Once the latter is hurt, Benavidez applies more pressure until the challenger capitulates.?</span>

<b>An amalgamation of Speed and power</b><span style="font-weight: 400">:</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Many accuse David Benavidez of relying on his strength alone. However, a careful study of his past fights reveals that it's not the case. He does use his inherent power but ensures that it connects with the foe in the fastest possible way. Opponents barely get any time to think that way.</span>

[caption id="attachment_824707" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-824707" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-632954264.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1256" /> LAS VEGAS, NV - JANUARY 28: David Benavidez (L) punches Sherali Mamajonov during the second round of their super middleweight fight at MGM Grand Garden Arena on January 28, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Benavidez won the fight with a second-round TKO. (Photo by Steve Marcus/Getty Images)[/caption]

<b>Strong foothold</b><span style="font-weight: 400">:</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">David Benavidez uses the regular tall up-right stance while facing the foe. However, he is known to be flexible with his stance rather than staying put. He doesn't lose his balance and moves with the shoulder. If the opponent pushes with combinations, Benavidez can move backward by putting weight on his hind leg.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>David Benavidez?s car collection and other luxuries</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Reportedly, David Benavidez owns not one but two extremely impressive automobiles. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">One is a Tesla, and the other one is a BMW X5. He appears to have a penchant for SUVs and sports cars alike. However, unlike cars, there?s not much public information available regarding motorbikes or, for that matter, whether he owns one or not.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">But other reports claim that he owns a Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster worth $960,000 and a Ferrari SF90 Stradale, which comes at $1.5 million.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Benavidez resides in his spacious abode in Arizona. The property is spacious, with a waiting area and a games room. He reportedly hosts many pool parties at his house for his friends. But a public estimate of the property?s value is not available.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>David Benavidez's gym altercation with Caleb Plant</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The world could sense bitterness between Caleb Plant and David Benavidez right from the outset during their first press conference. However, the foundation of the bitter feud between the two goes back a couple of years.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">While the Benavidez camp squarely lays the blame on Plant for his sheer jealousy over David?s progress. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Plant, on the other hand, blames Benavidez Sr. for unnecessarily taking his late daughter?s name.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Amidst the claims and counter-claims, things took a different turn when David Benavidez, accompanied by his elder brother and a few friends, confronted Caleb Plant in a gym where he was training.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">From arguments to pushing and shoving, things went for a toss when Plant took a shot at Jose Benavidez Jr. Then a free-for-all followed, but before it could escalate, intervention by others seems to have brought it down.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>David Benavidez's cocaine controversy</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Soon after he defended his WBC Super Middleweight title from Ronald Gavril?s challenge, David Benavidez tested positive for benzoylecgonine, the active element in cocaine.?</span>

[caption id="attachment_824710" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-824710" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-586320836.jpg" alt="David Benavidez" width="1920" height="1280" /> PHILADELPHIA, PA - AUGUST 05: David Benavidez celebrates after defeating Denis Douglin during a super middleweight fight at 2300 Arena on August 5, 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Alex Goodlett/Getty Images)[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">A random test performed by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) as part of WBC?s Clean Boxing Program revealed that Benavidez tested positive for the drug.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The WBC, as a result, stripped him of his title and suspended him till February 2019. Later, on December 19, 2018, news came that Benavidez would return to the ring on March 16, 2019.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>David Benavidez's beef with Canelo Alvarez</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">It?s not that David Benavidez enjoys friendly relations with the reigning Super Middleweight supremo Canelo Alvarez despite the latter hailing from the country from where his father came.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">On his part, Benavidez has always wondered why he hasn?t been allowed to fight Canelo Alvarez, even though he has already proven to be worthy of facing the Mexican in the ring.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">On the other corner, Canelo has made it clear that he does not want to face Benavidez because of his apparent lack of experience against top-ranking fighters.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Benavidez once told ?The Last Stand,? </span><span style="font-weight: 400">"</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">I been winning title eliminators, I just won an interim title. I feel like a lot of people now don't respect the boxing ranks. If you don't respect the boxing ranks, what are the boxing ranks for?</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">"</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Thus, Benavidez believes Canelo is reluctant to fight him because the former poses a significant challenge to the Mexican?s dominance in the division.</span>

(Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images) Jose Benavidez Sr. and his sons are proud of their Mexican heritage. He said, ?I grew up watching Oscar De La Hoya fight on Mexican Independence Day.? Though usually associated with countries like the U.S.A., Britain, or Russia, Boxing remains hugely popular in Mexico.? The country has consistently produced first-rate boxers from Oscar De La Hoya, Julio Cesar Chavez, Erik Morales, Canelo Alvarez, and many others. David Benavidez epitomizes the Mexican boxing style, characterized by sheer aggression. Recently, Jose Benavidez Jr. appeared in the latest edition of the Creed franchise, Creed III. David Benavidez?s family Together since 2019, David Benavidez and his wife Karina Silva are proud parents to Anthony Benavidez. Silva reportedly has dabbled in modeling and is a social media influencer as well.? She is also an entrepreneur based out of Seattle, Washington state. So far, she has launched two businesses, the brick-and-mortar ?Dress In Love? store and an internet outlet called ?The Shoe Closet.? Her Instagram page also alludes to a company called ?Nudes by Karina,? which claims to sell ?premium shapewear.? David Benavidez?s elder brother Jose Benavidez Jr. was born in Panorama City, California, on May 15, 1992. He took to boxing at age two or three. Later, he won eleven national championships, including the Silver Gloves twice. He also competed at the national Junior Olympics and was selected by the U.S. national team.? At age sixteen, Benavidez Jr. became the youngest Golden Gloves champion, winning in the Light Welterweight division. His amateur record stands at one hundred and twenty wins against only five losses. He turned professional in 2010 and became the WBA (Interim) Light Welterweight champion in 2014. His professional record stands at twenty-seven wins against two losses.? His son Anthony is just two years old. Hence it is too early to predict whether he will follow in his father?s footsteps or carry on the family boxing legacy. However, in videos uploaded on YouTube, he could be seen punching a bag.? David Benavidez?s boxing career Jose Benavidez Sr. introduced his younger son, David, to boxing when he was three. By the time he was eight, the latter had started winning amateur bouts. Unfortunately, his parents? separation proved detrimental to his progress. Living with his mother and sister, David Benavidez took to wrong food habits. As a result, by turning twelve, he weighed nearly 250 &#8211; 260 lbs. However, he decided to take a stand. At age thirteen, overweight, he relocated to Los Angeles to be with his father and elder brother and, more importantly, get wholly invested in boxing. His amateur record stands at fifteen wins against nil losses. On August 17, 2013, barely sixteen, Benavidez knocked out Erasmo Mendoza in the first round of his professional debut. Two years later, he won his first title NABF Junior Light Heavyweight. On September 8, 2017, he scored a split decision victory over Romanian boxer Ronald Gavril and became the WBC (Vacant) Super Middleweight title holder. A few months later, he repeated the feat against Gavril and defended his title.? His next big break came on September 28, 2019, when he defeated Anthony Dirrell to win his second world title WBC Super Middleweight. Though he breached the weight limits and, as a result, parted with the belt, he still defeated Roamer Alexis Angulo on August 15, 2020.? LAS VEGAS, NV &#8211; JANUARY 28: Referee Russell Mora (L) poses with David Benavidez after Benavidez defeated Sherali Mamajonov in a super middleweight fight at MGM Grand Garden Arena on January 28, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Benavidez won the fight with a second-round TKO. (Photo by Steve Marcus/Getty Images) During the next three fights, he knocked down all the opponents, which included the bout against David Lemieux that fetched his third title, WBC (Vacant) Interim Super Middleweight. David Benavidez?s signature boxing techniques By all accounts, it?s clear that David Benavidez is a classic swarmer who prefers pushing his opponents to either a corner or the ropes and then unleashing heavy punches pulverizing their defenses.? Combination Puncher: Benavidez pushes the opponents towards the ropes in one of his signature moves. Once trapped, he lets loose a volley of devastating shots to the head or body, one after the other. The technique is highly effective since it confuses the opponent as to which shot will come next. But it also compels him into a more defensive approach that could lead to more mistakes. Hard Body Hitter: He usually throws a lot of angular hooks and uppercuts on the body that invariable forces the foe to let the guards down. He has often proven that apart from relying on sheer strength, he can be lightning-fast.? So he quickly follows it up with headshots. Aggressive boxing style: David Banvidez uses a high guard to protect his face. However, the technique is also proper where the foe, considering it an advantage, goes for an attack and throws several unnecessary shots, most of which land on Benavidez?s gloves or forearms.? Then with a fast catch counter, he takes the opponent by surprise. Once the latter is hurt, Benavidez applies more pressure until the challenger capitulates.? An amalgamation of Speed and power: Many accuse David Benavidez of relying on his strength alone. However, a careful study of his past fights reveals that it&#8217;s not the case. He does use his inherent power but ensures that it connects with the foe in the fastest possible way. Opponents barely get any time to think that way. LAS VEGAS, NV &#8211; JANUARY 28: David Benavidez (L) punches Sherali Mamajonov during the second round of their super middleweight fight at MGM Grand Garden Arena on January 28, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Benavidez won the fight with a second-round TKO. (Photo by Steve Marcus/Getty Images) Strong foothold: David Benavidez uses the regular tall up-right stance while facing the foe. However, he is known to be flexible with his stance rather than staying put. He doesn&#8217;t lose his balance and moves with the shoulder. If the opponent pushes with combinations, Benavidez can move backward by putting weight on his hind leg. David Benavidez?s car collection and other luxuries Reportedly, David Benavidez owns not one but two extremely impressive automobiles. One is a Tesla, and the other one is a BMW X5. He appears to have a penchant for SUVs and sports cars alike. However, unlike cars, there?s not much public information available regarding motorbikes or, for that matter, whether he owns one or not. But other reports claim that he owns a Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster worth $960,000 and a Ferrari SF90 Stradale, which comes at $1.5 million.? Benavidez resides in his spacious abode in Arizona. The property is spacious, with a waiting area and a games room. He reportedly hosts many pool parties at his house for his friends. But a public estimate of the property?s value is not available. David Benavidez&#8217;s gym altercation with Caleb Plant The world could sense bitterness between Caleb Plant and David Benavidez right from the outset during their first press conference. However, the foundation of the bitter feud between the two goes back a couple of years. While the Benavidez camp squarely lays the blame on Plant for his sheer jealousy over David?s progress. Plant, on the other hand, blames Benavidez Sr. for unnecessarily taking his late daughter?s name. Amidst the claims and counter-claims, things took a different turn when David Benavidez, accompanied by his elder brother and a few friends, confronted Caleb Plant in a gym where he was training. From arguments to pushing and shoving, things went for a toss when Plant took a shot at Jose Benavidez Jr. Then a free-for-all followed, but before it could escalate, intervention by others seems to have brought it down. David Benavidez&#8217;s cocaine controversy Soon after he defended his WBC Super Middleweight title from Ronald Gavril?s challenge, David Benavidez tested positive for benzoylecgonine, the active element in cocaine.? PHILADELPHIA, PA &#8211; AUGUST 05: David Benavidez celebrates after defeating Denis Douglin during a super middleweight fight at 2300 Arena on August 5, 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Alex Goodlett/Getty Images) A random test performed by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) as part of WBC?s Clean Boxing Program revealed that Benavidez tested positive for the drug. The WBC, as a result, stripped him of his title and suspended him till February 2019. Later, on December 19, 2018, news came that Benavidez would return to the ring on March 16, 2019. David Benavidez&#8217;s beef with Canelo Alvarez It?s not that David Benavidez enjoys friendly relations with the reigning Super Middleweight supremo Canelo Alvarez despite the latter hailing from the country from where his father came. On his part, Benavidez has always wondered why he hasn?t been allowed to fight Canelo Alvarez, even though he has already proven to be worthy of facing the Mexican in the ring. On the other corner, Canelo has made it clear that he does not want to face Benavidez because of his apparent lack of experience against top-ranking fighters. Benavidez once told ?The Last Stand,? &#8220;I been winning title eliminators, I just won an interim title. I feel like a lot of people now don&#8217;t respect the boxing ranks. If you don&#8217;t respect the boxing ranks, what are the boxing ranks for?&#8220; Thus, Benavidez believes Canelo is reluctant to fight him because the former poses a significant challenge to the Mexican?s dominance in the division.

Some of the significant partnerships he has established over the years include Everlast, BODYARMOR, Avianne Jewelers, and SmartShop Self Storage, among others. However, it should be noted the precise details of the agreement, including Spence Jr.?s earnings from these deals, remain unavailable. Errol Spence Jr?s childhood and early life Errol Spence Jr. was born on March 3, 1990, on Ney York?s Long Island. He?s a long-time Texan, residing primarily in Dallas. Reportedly he spent some time at DeSoto High School, known for its successful football program. Until he was a sophomore in high school, he played football for Cedar Hill high school as well.

In 2015, he welcomed his first daughter Ivy; in 2017, he received his second, Violet. In 2020, he introduced his son Errol Dallas Spence to the world.? Errol Spence Jr. has never tied the knot. As we know, he has never spoken publicly about his family life, including the identity of his children?s biological mother. However, he has a girlfriend who goes by the name Debra. She is reported to be an online boutique owner called Shop Ashra.? They enjoy maintaining privacy regarding their relationship. Errol Spence Jr. was born to Errol Spence Sr., who retired as a FedEx contractor, and Debra Spence. His paternal ancestry is Jamaican, while his mother?s is African-American. Errol Spence Jr?s boxing career Errol Spence Jr. always had a love for boxing. But it wasn?t until he was fifteen years old, when Spence Sr. took him to a boxing gym, that he started training. Incidentally, the latter contacted famed, multi-award-winning trainer Derrick James to take his son under his wings. Soon the two formed a formidable partnership that continues to this day. 2008 at age eighteen, he took home the International Amateur Boxing Association championship. He dominated the Unites States National Amateur tournament competition for the next three years &#8211; 2009, 2010, and 2011.? He became the 2009 Golden Gloves champion (Salt Lake City). He received a silver medal at the Little Rock Golden Gloves a year later. The same year, in San Antonio, he held the Unites States National PAL Championships and won the gold medal.? Finally, at the 2012 U.S Olympic trials, he stood first in the 147 lbs. Unfortunately, he lost the quarter-final bout to Russia?s Andrey Zamkovoy at the London Olympics. Spence Jr?s amateur record displayed 135 wins against two losses when he was ready for the professional arena. In November 2012, Errol Spence Jr. commenced his hugely successful professional career. His fight against Jonathan Garcia in Indio, California?s Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, ended with a knockout win. He participated in twenty-one bouts for the next four years, winning all, with eighteen coming his way through knockouts. Close to seven of his opponents were packed off in the first round. On May 27, 2017, Errol Spence Jr. grabbed his first world title, IBF Welterweight, knocking down Englishman Kell Brook in the eleventh round at Sheffield?s Bramall Lane. 1.Versus Lamont Peterson &#8211; Errol Spence Jr. met fellow American Lamont Peterson at the Barclays Center in New York on January 20, 2018, for the first title defense.

But on the fight night, ?The Truth? outboxed and outclassed Peterson so much that the latter?s corner had to throw in the towel at the beginning of the eighth round. 2.Versus Carlos Ocampo &#8211; Spence Jr. faced then-undefeated Mexican Carlos Ocampo at The Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas, five months later on June 20 for the second title defense. ?The Truth? closed the deal within the first round as a solid left to the body sent Ocampo down.? 3. Versus Mikey Garcia &#8211; Nine months later, on March 16, 2019, Errol Spence Jr. met Mikey Garcia for his third title defense at AT &amp; T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Like in previous instances, the New York-born Southpaw outmaneuvered Garcia to convince the judges to hand over a unanimous victory using his reach. 4. Versus Shawn Porter &#8211; In a move towards title unification, Errol Spence Jr. squared up with WBC champion Shawn Porter on September 28, 2019, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. However, Spence Jr. proved too much for Porter despite his best efforts. The latter even got knocked down in the eleventh round. However, the tightly fought contest left no other option for the judges but to award a victory to Spence Jr. by a split decision. 5. Versus Danny Garcia &#8211; Errol Spence Jr. and two-weight division champion Danny Garcia met a year later on December 5, 2020, at the AT&amp;T Stadium in Texas. The former?s WBC and IBF Welterweight titles were at stake. The fight ended in a unanimous victory for Spence Jr.? 6. Versus Yordenis Ugas &#8211; Next stage in Spence Jr.?s title unification took him to the doorsteps of the Cuban Yordenis Ugas, the reigning WBA (Super) Welterweight champion. The AT &amp; T Stadium fight on April 16, 2022, ended in a tenth round with a technical knockout victory for Spence Jr. A badly swollen right eye forced the referee to stop the fight based on the ring doctor?s assessment. Errol Spence Jr?s Signature Boxing Techniques Let?s review in greater depth about Errol Spence Jr.?s boxing style. Pressure fighter with a Strong lead hand: Errol Spence Jr. is great at putting most of the opponents on the defensive because of his ability to gauge the distance required to apply the apt pressure. Besides the jab, a remarkable ring generalship aids him in forcing the opponents onto the ropes.? Thus they either end up wasting energy through constant movements or, left with no other option, stay put against him. Finally, using the ?shift technique,? Spence Jr. applies pressure by quickly closing the distance and surprising the opponent with a powerful shot.? An excellent example of a referral could be the sixth round against Mikey Garcia. Puncher-boxer: In many ways, Errol Spence Jr. holds the ideal traits of a ?Boxer Puncher? with a slight tilt towards swarming. Strong in boxing fundamentals, the cornerstones of the American?s efficient and effective approach in the ring include a jab and a straight left to either head or body. Another aspect that needs special consideration is his ability to battle on the inside. The deadly combination of his aggression, physicality, and power, is often too much for his opponents. Block And Counter: The defensive and counterpunching prowess of Errol Spence Jr. often gets overlooked. But those form a critical part of his arsenal. Then he also uses his feet to great use by keeping a distance, thus making himself a challenging target to hit.? Likewise, he has put in much effort to improve this area. His ability to collect shots with his glove and counterattack is best exemplified during the Shawn Porter bout. He took more punishment in the fight, but his performance is still rated outstanding. Body Shots: As an owner of body punches rated among the best in the business, Spence Jr.?s competitor often suffers a stinging pain whenever he gets near them or tries to get on their inside. Likewise, during the offensive mode, if Spence Jr. faces trouble connecting with the opponent?s head, he switches to body assault. Though essentially a southpaw, he doesn?t hesitate to deliver a right hook to the body in the tight quarter. Once he pins his opponents down, Spence Jr. goes for a relentless attack knowing very well that targeting the body will keep the former more occupied, leaving the head vulnerable.? Shoulder Roll: Errol Spence Jr. evades powerful strikes without slipping or partially absorbing impact by using the shoulder roll, a technique brought to perfection by the Mayweather family. The method presents invaluable time for him to retaliate instantly without blocking the blow. Errol Spence Jr?s car collection and other luxuries Unlike many superstar boxers, Errol Spence Jr.?s car collection remains modest. However, they are all muscle cars that move like the wind. 1. Ferrari 488 Spider &#8211; One of Ferrari?s top-of-the-line offerings, priced at $284,700, this beauty boasts a 3.9 liter V8 engine, twin-turbocharged to produce 670 horsepower. Often regarded as the automobile maker?s most potent convertible ever, it has a top speed of 205 miles per hour and covers zero to sixty miles per hour in three seconds. Unfortunately, Spence Jr. was involved in an accident while driving the vehicle in 2019. 2. Lamborghini Gallardo &#8211; With its V10 engine producing a monstrous 550 horsepower, the Gallardo is one of the most extreme examples of Italian automotive genius. It is a product of Lamborghini?s decades-long history of producing luxury automobiles simultaneously, making it one of the most user-friendly supercars ever produced. The world champion might own other chariots. However, their details could not be sourced. Among other luxury goods, Spence Jr. rewards himself with a brand-new watch whenever he can.? Besides possessing a skeleton face and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, ?The Truth? reportedly planned on getting a Richard Mille. A Cologne connoisseur, his collection of expensive sprays includes Maison Francis Kurkdjian. After the 2019 fatal car accident, Errol Spence Jr. bought a sixty-acre ranch in DeSoto, Texas, where he spends time riding horses and caring for the cattle. Errol Spence Jr Awards and Achievement Errol Spence Jr. has had a brilliant outing as a professional boxer. Some notable awards and achievements he received include the following: Unified Welterweight World Champion: Spence Jr. held multiple world titles in the welterweight division, including the IBF (International Boxing Federation) in 2017 and the WBC (World Boxing Council) from 2019 and the World Boxing Association (Super) since 2022. World?s Best Active Welterweight &#8211; The Ring magazine and Transnational Boxing Rankings Board Prospect of the Year, 2015 &#8211; ESPN Golden Gloves, 2009, Salt Lake City &#8211; Gold Medal US National Championships, 2009(Denver), 2010, &amp; 2011(Colorado Springs) &#8211; Gold Medal US National PAL Championships, 2010, San Antonio &#8211; Gold Medal Errol Spence Jr?s horrific Car crash Though his expertise inside the ring remains unquestionable, it is outside, especially on the busy roads, that Errol Spence Jr. faces some issues. One, in particular, came out critical. In October 2019, roughly two months after he packed off Shawn Porter, Errol Spence Jr. met with a severe car accident in Dallas, Texas, during the wee hours. He lost control of his Ferrari 488 Spider. The vehicle flipped many times, even as the champion was thrown out. Reportedly, he hadn?t put on the seatbelt.? Finally, in June 2022, it was discovered that Spence Jr. had been driving under the influence. Therefore, he was imprisoned for three days and received a $3400 fine. The second incident happened three after the dangerous October crash. According to ?The Truth, ? a vehicle rear-ended his G Wagon. Incidentally, his insurance provider refused to cover him after the collision. The third accident occurred last December. As it turned out, a fourteen-year-old, who had taken his parent?s car, ran a red light and crashed into the front of his SUV. The accident reportedly resulted in a minor leg injury for the world champion.? He said, ?I wanna say no serious injuries on the top, thank God for that man. I wasn?t injured, he wasn?t injured, and we weren?t having serious injuries. So it?s all blessings.?  Name Errol Spence Jr.  Born March 3, 1990?

<h1 style="text-align: center"><strong>Mike Tyson's Net Worth, career, and family</strong></h1>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Mike Tyson's net worth in 2024</strong></h2>
At his peak, Mike Tyson was one of the wealthiest boxers on the planet. But over time, he lost most of his wealth owing to a lavish lifestyle. Reportedly, he had only $146,000 when he joined WrestleMania 14, post the 'Bite Fight' suspension. According to <strong>Celebrity Net Worth,</strong> Mike Tyson's net worth is $10 million. This could be ascribed primarily to the 2020 'Lockdown Knockdown' against Roy Jones Jr.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2132425" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1034387415h.jpg" alt="Mike Tyson" />

From winning his first world title, the WBC heavyweight, to his retirement, 'Iron' Mike received some of the biggest paychecks of the day. Tyson received $1.5 million during the Trevor Berbick fight. In the 90s, it went to double digits. He reportedly earned $30 million during the war against Frank Bruno and the two battles against Evander Holyfield. However, the biggest paycheck he earned was during the Lennox Lewis fight. It reportedly fetched him $103 million.

So if all the fight money Mike Tyson made during his time is summed, it goes to around $400 million. But boxing has not been the only source of income for the former world champion. Given his name and the weight it carries worldwide, an array of brands tied up with the legendary boxer to endorse their products, services, and sponsorships throughout his career. His most recent sponsors include Black Energy Drink, CopperGel, and Smart Cups.

Additionally, his merchandise is operated from his ranch, aptly named 'Tyson Ranch.' Tyson has even started his cannabis empire called Tyson 2.0, with its slogan, 'Undisputed Cannabis.' One of the unique products from the company is a cannabis-based gummy line, 'Mike Bites.' These gummies, shaped like Holyfield's ear, marked his partnership with the former opponent, Evander Holyfield.?

Tyson and Holyfield's joint venture is called 'Carma Holdings.' Last year they launched another line of products called 'Holy Bites.' Tyson 2.0 also saw the champ partnering with former WWE star Ric Flair. The company also acquired a majority stake in Flair's 'Ric Flair Drip' line. The entire cannabis venture reportedly earns him $900k per month. A two-hour personal appearance of Mike Tyson could come somewhere in the neighborhood of $75k. Tyson's earnings from podcasts such as 'Hotboxin' With Mike Tyson' remain non-verifiable.

<span style="font-weight: 400">In recent times, the former heavyweight champion has significantly expanded his portfolio by acquiring more sponsorships and brand deals. Among them, Tyson Pro offers a line of performance apparel. Following suit, the MT Collection presents official Mike Tyson merchandise. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Additionally, Tyson has partnered with Men's Remedy, which provides expert-backed testosterone treatment. He is also in collaboration with Zumiez, a lifestyle fashion brand. Finally, Futurola provides premium smoking accessories like Pre-rolls and cones.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's early life</h2>
Mike Tyson was born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York's Fort Greene. He had two other siblings, both older, Rodney and Denise. Later, through his mother's second marriage to Jimmy Kirkpatrick, he had a half-brother as well, Jimmie Lee Kirkpatrick.

The crime-prone Brooklyn neighborhood was not the ideal place for a kid to grow up. However, with no alternatives, Tyson, his mother, and his siblings went through everyday survival. The future world champion, over a while, built a reputation as a street fighter.

Turning to gang-related activities, reportedly, by the time he turned thirteen, local police arrested him over thirty-eight times! A frequent visitor to juvenile correctional facilities, Tyson's life changed when he landed at Tryon School for Boys in Johnstown, New York.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's family life</h2>
Mike Tyson's mother, Lorna Smith, was born in 1927. She had three kids with Purcell Tyson, a cab driver of Jamaican origin. Later, she married Jimmy Kirkpatrick and had another child. Kirkpatrick left the family, leaving Lorna Smith and the children to fend for themselves. They changed places frequently on account of financial difficulties. She suffered from cancer and died in 1982 at age fifty-five.

The troubled childhood had an impact on Iron Mike's relationships. The thrice-married former world champion's first marriage to actress Robin Givens barely lasted a year, from February 7, 1988, to February 14, 1989. After that, she filed for divorce, reportedly on the grounds of domestic violence and abuse at the hands of Tyson.

The second marriage to pediatrician Monica Turner lasted six years, from April 19, 1997, to January 14, 2003. Their relationship collapsed because of frequent adultery committed by the boxing legend. Nevertheless, they had two kids together. On June 6, 2009, Tyson married for the third time. Tyson and Lakhia "Kiki" Spicer are now proud parents to two kids.

Mike Tyson fathered three more kids through relations with other women. But sadly, on May 26, 2009, his daughter, Exodus Tyson, passed away. Among Tyson's kids, his daughter Milan seems to have picked her father's propensity for sports. Taking up the tennis racket at an early age, she is under the wings of Patrick Mouratoglou, Serena Williams' former trainer.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's ex-girlfriends and wives</h2>
Apart from his current spouse, Lakhia Spicer, and two formers, Robin Givens and Monica Turner, Mike Tyson reportedly had relationships with other women. Among the many names whose link-up with 'Iron' Mike grabbed headlines, the most prominent include Luz Whitney, Coco Johnsen, and Naomi Campbell. Besides the above, his affair with Kimberly Scarborough resulted in his first child, Mikey Lorna Tyson. In addition, he? had two kids, Miguel and Exodus, with Sol Xochitl when they were in a relationship from 2004 to 2005.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>How did Mike Tyson lose his daughter?</strong></h2>
Tyson's daughter Exodus passed away on May 26, 2009. Reportedly, she was found motionless by her brother Miguel on May 25. He found her entwined in a chord swinging from a treadmill. Despite their mother administering CPR and subsequent hospitalization, Exodus passed away the next day.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's early boxing career</h2>
Mike Tyson's fate turned for good at the Tryon School for Boys. One of the counselors, Bobby Stewart, saw an excellent boxing prospect in the young teenager from the hoods. So he took him to legendary trainer Cus D'Amato, who, recognizing the youngster's talents, brought matters to the next level by adopting him.

The duo soon started working on some of the unique techniques developed by the trainer who previously worked with Floyd Patterson. Mike Tyson made his first amateur debut at age fifteen. Participating in the National Junior Olympics games, he won gold medals for two consecutive years, 1981 and 1982. He won the gold medal at the National Golden Gloves tournament in 1984.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's professional career</h2>
Mike Tyson was now ready to face the world. Launching his professional career on March 6, 1985, he beat Hector Mercedes with a first-round technical KO. Eighteen months later, on November 22, 1986, Tyson won his first world title, WBC heavyweight. He became the youngest heavyweight champion in the sport's history at age twenty. By this time, he had fought and defeated twenty-seven fighters. Out of which, barring one, the rest all were knockout victories.

Sadly, Cus D'Amato was not present to see his prodigy's achievement. The legendary trainer succumbed to pneumonia on November 4, 1985. Mike Tyson won the WBA heavyweight title in 1987 and became the world's undisputed champion. Then, on August 1, 1987, he added the IBF heavyweight belt to the list.

On January 22, 1988, while defending his titles, 'Iron' Mike fought former heavyweight champion, Larry Holmes. The latter had beaten Muhammad Ali on October 2, 1980. Hence, when the turn came, many reported on Mike Tyson avenging his boxing idol. The fight ended with a fourth-round knockout win for the twenty-one-year-old world champion.

Two years later, fortune changed hands as Mike Tyson faced his first defeat. On February 11, 1990, Buster Douglas knocked out 'The Baddest Man on the Planet' in the tenth round. Though he went on to win the next eight fights and even regained the WBC and WBA titles, the clock was ticking against him. Then, on November 9, 1996, Mike Tyson suffered his second defeat. Evander Holyfield beat him via TKO in the eleventh round. But it was the second fight that entered the pages of infamy.

The duo met for their rematch on June 28, 1997. But the slugfest turned ugly when Tyson bit parts of Holyfield's right ear. Initially allowed to continue, the referee finally stopped the fight and disqualified Tyson. "The Bite Fight" resulted in the Nevada State Athletic Commission revoking Tyson's boxing license besides imposing a $3 million fine.

'Iron' Mike finally returned to the ring on January 16, 1999. After that, he won a slew of matches. However, his last and final attempt at regaining the championship title ended disastrously. On June 8, 2002, Briton Lennox Lewis sent Tyson to the canvas in the eighth round, dashing the latter's last charge. On February 22, 2003, Mike Tyson won for the last time against Clifford Etienne. For the next two years, he lost two fights consecutively, the second being the last fight of his career. The former champion formally retired in 2005.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's boxing style</h2>
A close study of Mike Tyson's moves, hand movements, and ring strategy would reveal him to be essentially a swarmer. Swarmers, for the uninitiated, are boxers who bear down on an opponent, all the while throwing a volley of punches, including uppercuts and hooks. The only drawback is that the move entails going through foes' vicious attacks to stage a successful onslaught.

Apart from 'Iron Mike,' a few other notable swarmers included Joe Frazier, Rocky Marciano, and Jake LaMotta. In Tyson's case, Cus D'Amato taught a technique that became the former's signature style to escape the barrage of punches thrown at him. Through 'Peek-A-Boo,' a boxer kills two birds with one stone. First, he creates a potent defense by raising his hands. Next, constant bobbing lets him slip the opponent's punches and cover the distance. Finally, once inside, at a reasonable time, place a counter-attack. Thus, once inside, Mike Tyson would draw power from the leg he leaned to pull and throw a devastating knockout punch.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Mike Tyson's foray into coaching</strong></h2>
2023 marked Mike Tyson's coaching debut. The youngest heavyweight champion of the world guided the former UFC heavyweight champion <strong>Francis Ngannou</strong> as the latter transitioned into boxing. And it turned out to be a huge success as Ngannou put on a stellar performance against the current WBC heavyweight champion of the world <strong>Tyson Fury</strong> on <strong>October 28, 2023, </strong>billed <strong>"The Battle of the Baddest".</strong> The Cameroonian shocked the world by knocking down Tyson Fury in the third round, and going the distance with the 'Gypsy King'. Although Ngannou lost on the judges' scorecard by a controversial split decision, the fans lauded his boxing skills honed under Mike Tyson's mentorship.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's extraordinary spending</h2>
By his admission, Mike Tyson lived a king-size lifestyle. The youngest heavyweight champion in boxing's history would make a habit of splurging money. Expensive homes, cars, and exotic animals were a few of the items that fancied 'Iron' Mike.

His $4 million Connecticut mansion had a nightclub and a casino! Not done, he purchased properties in Nevada, California, and Ohio. Most of the acquisitions came fully furnished. And at some, the champion added whatever he fancied.

The above is just a glimpse of the kind of life Mike Tyson lived. There are instances like purchasing a bathtub worth $2 million for his wife. Generous to a fault, he would dish out lavish gifts to friends and strangers. But as all good things and time come to an end, Tyson's spending spree fizzled out by the century's first decade. Per rough estimates, he owed lenders nearly $23 million.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Mike Tyson's acting career</strong></h2>
Mike Tyson has had an on-off relationship with Tinseltown. Initially, he kicked off with cameo roles, often playing himself. For instance, the 2006 release,<strong> 'Rocky Balboa.'</strong> But his major acting breakthrough came with the 2009 release, 'The Hangover.' He was present in the sequel as well. Other movies with Tyson playing key roles include <strong>'Kickboxer: Retaliation,'</strong> '<strong>The Devil May Care,</strong>' and <strong>'IP Man 3.</strong>' Last year he also featured in the French action comedy film <strong>'Medellin'</strong>.
<h2 style="text-align: center">When did Mike Tyson go to jail?</h2>
While living in the hood, Tyson had been a state guest numerous times. But he served a significant prison sentence when the court found him guilty of assaulting model Desiree Washington in 1992. Initially sentenced to six years' incarceration, he came out, just short of the three years, in 1995.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Where does Mike Tyson live now?</h2>
The former world champion currently resides with his family in Henderson, Nevada. It is situated roughly sixteen miles southeast of 'Sin City,' Las Vegas.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's car collection and luxuries in 2024</h2>
Tyson owned nearly a hundred vehicles, many of which were high-end and pricey pieces. In 1985, he shelled out $30k to buy his first car, a Cadillac Eldorado. After that, he made a habit of gifting himself a Rolls Royce whenever the occasion arose. Then his close friend, rapper Tupac Shakur inspired him to look closely at Mercedes models. As a result, in 1989, he bought a Mercedes Benz SL Class with a price tag of $48k.

Among other models, 'Iron' Mike used to own a Ferrari 456 GT Spyder, a Lamborghini Super Diablo worth $500k, a Jaguar XJ220, a Cadillac Escalade, and a Hummer. Also, he was a proud owner of a Bentley Continental SC that made his wallet light by $720k. Then, there is the story of him purchasing twenty cars from one car dealer. Reportedly, he took five Bentley Azures from this store, costing nearly $1.5 million! Unfortunately, only a little is known about Mike Tyson's current car collection.

All you need to know about Mike Tyson's Tigers and Pigeons
In the 1990s, Tyson brought home three white Royal Bengal Tigers, each costing $70k. Named Kenya, Storm, and Boris, he had an exclusive accommodation facility for the big cats with a caretaker who charged a whooping $125k per annum. At the time of filing for bankruptcy, Tyson still had to pay roughly $8,100 towards their upkeep.

A known pigeon fancier, his love for the birds began in Brooklyn when he was eight or nine. There's a famous legend about Tyson knocking down a guy who killed one of his pigeons. He reportedly broke off from a relationship when he learned about the lady's views on his pigeons! Even today, he pursues the hobby and has over a thousand pigeons.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Movies based on Mike Tyson's life</h2>
For a living legend who has been through some of the steepest ups and downs, it is evident that biopics, both watered-down versions and close to real ones, would appear sooner or later. Then, in 1995, came Uli Edel directed 'Tyson.' Taken from the book Fire and Fear: The Inside Story of Iron Mike Tyson by Jose Torres, actor Michael Jai White played the lead role of Mike Tyson. George C Scott played Cus D'Amato while Paul Winfield Don King.

In 2022, Hulu released the series 'Tyson' based on the former champion's life. The eight-episode series has Trevante Rhodes acting as Mike Tyson. Of course, there have been other productions. But most restricted themselves to a docu-drama format. For instance, Barabara Kopple's 'Fallen Champ: The Untold Story of Mike Tyson,' the 2008 release James Toback's 'Tyson,' and the 2021 release 'Mike Tyson: The Knockout.'
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's comeback</h2>
On November 28, 2020, Mike Tyson staged a comeback of sorts. At the Staples Center in Los Angeles, he faced another legend Roy Jones Jr. The fight ended in a draw, though per Compubox, Tyson managed to land a more significant number of punches. The pay-per-view subscriptions crossed $80 million, more than initially expected.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's relationship with Muhammad Ali</h2>
Mike Tyson idolized Muhammad Ali. He grew up watching his hero fight some of the era's biggest names. But still, despite his close bonds with 'The Greatest,' Iron Mike never wanted to be like him. Instead, he always found himself resembling the likes of Sonny Liston or Jack Dempsey. Tyson was inconsolable when Ali lost the fight against Larry Holmes on October 2, 1980, at Caesars Palace. He reportedly avenged his hero's defeat eight years later.

Crawford received a guaranteed payout of $5.5 million and a percentage of the earning made through PPV subscriptions. 6. Vs. Jose Benavidez Jr., October 2018 &#8211; His first title defense after moving to the Welterweight division against Jose Benavidez Jr. saw Terence Crawford take home roughly $3.625 million, according to ESPN. 7. Vs. Jeff Horn, June 2018 &#8211; The title fight in the new 147 lbs. Division against Jeff Horn that made Terence Crawford the new WBO champion fetched him a career-high $3 million, while his opponent took him $1.75 million. According to ?Sportslens.com,? for the undisputed title fight against Julius Indongo on August 19, 2017, the fight purse guaranteed to Terence Crawford hovered at $1.5 million.? For the two unification fights before, against Felix Diaz in May 2017 and John Molina Jr. in December 2016, he reportedly received $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. However, boxing paydays are not the only source of Terence Crawford?s income. Over the years, intelligent deals have bolstered his wealth immensely. The boxing legend?s association with sports firm Everlast remains his prominent contract. Additionally, he seems to have lucrative deals with Populum, SNAC, and Zilliqa. Thus, Terence Crawford?s sponsorship arrangements undoubtedly contribute to his riches.? Terence Crawford?s childhood and early life Terence Crawford was born in Omaha, Nebraska. He did his schooling at Bryan High School, Omaha, where his interest in the sport, which later became his career, developed. It is safe to assume the ?Bud? completed his high school, though not much information could be sourced regarding any higher education he might have pursued. Terence Crawford?s family Terence Crawford was born to Terry and Debbie Crawford on September 28, 1987. Shawntay Crawford and Latisha Crawford are his sisters. Throughout his career, they have stood behind their brother resolutely. Terence Crawford may be married to long-time partner Alindra Person. However, the two have known each other for many years and are proud parents to six children. Omaha, Nebraska, is where Person spent her early years.?

Terence Crawford?s boxing career Reportedly, Terence Crawford took up the gloves at age seven. His amateur record stands at seventy wins against twelve losses. Some of the most memorable moments of his amateur stint remain victories over boxers such as Mikey Garcia and Danny Garcia, who became world champions like him. He won a gold medal at the 2006 United States National PAL championships. He grabbed a silver at the Golden Gloves in Omaha a few months later. In 2007, at the Colorado Springs held United States National Championships, he grabbed a bronze medal. Unfortunately, his Olympic dream stopped after losing the bouts to Sadam Ali and Miguel Angel Gonzalez during the 2008 Beijing Olympic trials. On March 14, 2008, he fought his first professional match. In a fifteen-year career, Crawford has participated in thirty-nine fights, winning all. It wasn?t until 2013 that he won his first title, the vacant NABO Lightweight. A year later, on March 1, 2014, he defeated the Scottish boxer Ricky Burns to become the WBO Lightweight champion. Besides adding The Ring Lightweight belt to his kitty, he retained the title that year. Next year, scaling up a division, he knocked out the Puerto Rican Thomas Dulorme on April 18, 2015, becoming the WBO Light Welterweight champion. The following year, during the third title defense, ?Bud? Crawford defeated the Ukrainian boxer Viktor Postol unanimously to add the WBC and vacant The Ring Light Welterweight belts. Terence Crawford?s moment came when his attempt at the undisputed championship came to fruition in 2017. On August 19, 2017, he faced Namibian Julius Indongo in Lincoln, Nebraska?s Pinnacle Bank Arena.? Putting his three world titles in Light Welterweight &#8211; WBC, WBO, and The Ring at stake, a powerful body shot from Crawford brought the match to an end in the third round. In turn, he grabbed the WBA (Super) and IBF Light Welterweight titles, thus making him the undisputed champion in the division. LAS VEGAS, NV &#8211; JUNE 09: Terence Crawford celebrates his victory after a TKO in the 9th round in the WBO welterweight title between Jeff Horn and Terence Crawford at MGM Grand Garden Arena on June 9, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Bradley Kanaris/Getty Images) A few months later, he left the WBO title, making it to the Welterweight division. There he challenged the title holder Jeff Horn from Australia. The match at the MGM Grand Arena on June 9, 2018, was stopped by the referee after a ruthless attack from Crawford. Since becoming the WBO Welterweight champion, Terence Crawford has defended the title six times. 1.Versus Jose Benavidez Jr. &#8211; The first title defense on October 13, 2018, at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska, came from a technical knockout victory for ?Bud.? Referee Celestino Ruiz had to stop the match with barely a few seconds left in the final round when Benavidez Jr. received severe pummeling from the Omaha native. 2.Versus Amir Khan &#8211; Since months later, Crawford met Amir Khan from Great Britain at Madison Square Garden on April 20, 2019. Completely outboxed and outmaneuvered by the champion, the match stopped a minute after the sixth round started as the Briton?s corner threw in the towel. 3. Versus Kell Brook &#8211; After knocking out the Lithuanian Egidijus Kavaliauskas in December of that year, Terence Crawford faced his next challenge from another Briton, Kell Brook. The two met at MGM Grand Arena on November 14, 2020. The match ended in the fourth round with another technical knockout victory for ?Bud.? 4. Versus Shawn Porter &#8211; A year later, Crawford thwarted Shawn Porter?s challenge on November 20, 2021, at Michelob Ultra Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The latter?s corner threw in the towel by the tenth round as he failed to defend himself from Crawford?s onslaught. 5. Versus David Avanesyan &#8211; The sixth title defense ended in a knockout victory for Terence Crawford on December 10, 2022, in Omaha, Nebraska?s CHI Health Center.? Terence Crawford?s Signature Boxing Techniques A well-rounded boxer who quickly moves across tactics depending on the competitor, Terence Crawford displays high boxing IQ by employing techniques such as pressure fighting and counter-punching, among many others. Switching from Southpaw to Orthodox (and back) is one of the most challenging aspects of going in a fight against him. Let?s look at some critical aspects of Crawford?s fighting style. Switch Stance: Most of Terence Crawford?s opponents face a boxer in the classic Southpaw stance. But he has never exhibited rigidity over it, switching over to an orthodox posture briefly or perhaps the entire round.? Such a move often lures orthodox boxers beyond their skill set, leading ?Bud? to launch a devastating left-hand counterattack.? Similarly, he makes full use of his height which is five feet and eight inches, and the reach of seventy-four to keep opponents at a distance. He usually maintains his southpaw stance while facing other left-handed boxers to deflect any body shots. Simply put, Terence Crawford has mastered the switching that follows the scenario he might face in the ring. Jab and Parry: Terence Crawford uses a jab, often overlooked by most critics, to gauge his opponent?s distance. He will also use it to shield himself from the latter?s attack on the head and launch his counterstrikes. He often switches to the orthodox stance to knock out opponents with left and right hooks he sets up with his jab. A master of lead head feints, he uses the ploy regularly to confuse opponents. Pull and Counter: ?Bud? frequently executes a counterattack with a right hook, catching right-handed boxers who throw a jab unprepared. Crawford resorts to a full-scale attack as soon as he can make that the competitor is hurt. He usually applies pressure with a barrage of left hooks, straight punches, and varying his body position, wrongfooting the opponent. Footwork: The role played by Terence Crawford?s footwork in aid of his defense plan needs special mention. For instance, from a back foot posture, he shuffles back in straight lines, pivots to either left or right, and circles around the foe, stepping laterally. Thus the technique makes him one of the most challenging targets in the sport to hit. Shoulder Roll: Defending with a shoulder roll is a common tactic in boxing. It?s often linked to the defensive prowess of geniuses like Floyd Mayweather Jr. It starts with the lead shoulder rolled, thus defending the chin. The other hand is kept close to the cheek to block or launch a counterattack. Besides frustrating the opponent, the shoulder roll produces low wear and tear. By avoiding excessive movement and conserving energy, the shoulder roll is one of the most effective defensive techniques for a boxer. It will do good to remember that while a helpful method, mastering shoulder roll, takes a lot of work, timing, and knowledge about the opponent?s punches.?? Terence Crawford?s car collection and other luxuries? Let?s check out Terence Crawford?s incredible car collection. 1. Mercedes AMG G63 &#8211; Priced at approximately $145,000, the G63 comes with a twin-turbo V8 engine generating 577 horsepower. The standard all-wheel drive has roomy, well-appointed interiors without compromising modern technology. 2. Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat &#8211; The powerful, roughly $69000 Hellcat gives the owner an exciting driving experience. Its Hemi V8 engine sparks off 797 horsepower. Its rear-wheel drive (RWD) and standard ten-speed automatic transmission allow the driver to make donuts.? 3. GMC Sierra &#8211; Terence Crawford also owns a GMC Sierra 1500 truck. Known for its power and versatility, the $69,000 automobile boasts a well-equipped interior. The value for the money vehicle could be purchased in different versions &#8211; from a V6 diesel engine to a turbo-V8 engine that generates 420 horsepower. 4. Hummer H2 &#8211; After the H1?s enormous popularity, primarily due to its military-grade body and powerful performance, the H2 saw a release. It boasts a more robust V8 engine producing 393 horsepower and 416 pounds per foot torque. While it is difficult to gauge the precise details of the jewelry and watch collection, the robbery at Terence Crawford?s residence in March this year sheds some light on the items taken away. According to TMZ, the incident took place at his Omaha residence. Reportedly the thieves took away gold chains, a gold cross necklace, and a bracelet set. Among other items stolen was an Audemars Piguet and a diamond Patek Philippe, each priced at approximately $100,000. The total value of stolen goods stood somewhere near $317,000. Then again, in a previous burglary incident going back to October 2021, the burglars stole a $137,000 worth Rolex watch from his home.? Terence Crawford Awards and Achievements Since he took on the gloves, Terence Crawford has received many awards and honors. 1. First undisputed Light Welterweight champion after a gap of thirteen years. The last undisputed champion was Kosta Tszyu in 2004. 2. 2017 ESPN Fighter of the Year Award 3. 2014 ESPN Fighter of the Year Award 4. Boxing Writers Association of America&#8217;s Fighter of the Year (2014) 5. WBO Lightweight &#8211; March 1, 2014 6. The Ring Lightweight &#8211; November 29, 2014 7.

WBO Welterweight &#8211; June 9, 2018 Terence Crawford Wrestling background Early in his childhood years, Terence Crawford felt a pull towards wrestling. Incidentally, his father, who served in the Navy, had been an accomplished high-school wrestler. Reportedly, a family friend named Wiley introduced him to the sport.?? At the CW Boxing Club in North Omaha, he started honing his skills, and his unconventional boxing technique, taking after wrestling, emerged. Coming from a very athletic family, wrestling played a considerable part in their culture. Crawford inherited a passion for the sport from his illustrious family members. Despite his success as a pound-for-pound, one of the greatest boxers of the era, Terence Crawford longed to pass on the love of wrestling to his sons. His eldest son has already started achieving success in the sport.? Terence Crawford got shot So Terence Crawford made his professional debut on March 14, 2008. He engaged in five bouts that year and won them all. But it should be noted that he might have skipped the November battle if not for the tragic incident. As the story goes, a few days before he turned twenty-one, Crawford and a few of his friends were killing time one night and decided to start shooting dice. Before long, he was ahead of others. Terence lost interest after a few games and collected his winnings. He went to relax in his 1986 Pontiac Cutlass Supreme. But he made a mistake by staying there for a long time and not leaving immediately. As he began to count, there was a burst of gunfire from behind.? It was a nine-millimeter bullet that pierced the back glass of his car. It came out that ?Bud? wasn?t the target. The shooter was aiming at someone else. Fortunately, the bullet missed his brain and struck the right side of his head, below his ear.? The nine-millimeter changed its course once it came in contact with the back window. Had it struck Crawford directly, his condition would have been much worse. He kept his cool and drove himself to the hospital, bleeding profusely.? Since his injuries weren?t fatal, he was released shortly after receiving stitches. Terence Crawford showing his mental fortitude, once again fought Michael Williams on November 8, his fifth match of the year, barely two months after the incident.
