Mike Tyson: His boxing career

Tyson still holds the record for being the youngest boxing champion. He achieved champion status just within two years of professional boxing. As a result, he enjoyed immense fame and wealth.

However, he has also experienced a few losses over the span of his career. One such heartbreaking loss was against James Douglass in 1990. It was the first loss of his professional career. Post this, he enjoyed a long winning streak which was broken by a defeat against Evander Holyfield twice.

Lennox Lewis, Danny Williams, and Kevin McBride also managed to defeat Mike Tyson. Hence, ‘Iron’ stayed at the top of his game, but also experienced the lows of the sport.

Recently, there was news that the boxer would soon face Jake Paul. However, that has not materialized yet. It would be interesting to see if the 55-year-old decides to fight the much younger Paul. What do you think?
