The grandest event of the year is only a few hours away as Conor McGregor will lock horns with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. After losing the rematch at UFC 257 in January this year, the Irishman is coming with all guns blazing to avenge his loss. McGregor feels he and his coaches have figured out a perfect game plan against ‘The Diamond’. Conor McGregor’s long-time striking coach Owen Roddy joined an interview with BT Sport, where he talked about the sacrifices made by McGregor in the training camp. Roddy said, “This is a dangerous Conor that’s what I would go with he is very motivated and he wants to get back. It’s been a very long camp, you know he’s made a lot of sacrifices. The team has made a lot of sacrifices all for this all for Saturday night. And we’re just gonna watch him go in and do his thing.” Owen Roddy continues, “We’ve been doing that for the last couple of camps getting out of Ireland and just Isolating our selves making the main focus the fight and we found it work very well this time it was nice. We were in the boat for a bit. Then we went to California and then out to Vegas and everything went very well.” Without giving too much information, Roddy gave enough to convince the fans that they are completely ready for the battle. This time around Conor McGregor [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/conor-mcgregor/] has trained outside Ireland and has stayed isolated to put in the required work. WHAT MAKES CONOR MCGREGOR MORE DANGEROUS IN THE TRILOGY FIGHT? The trilogy fight is happening after five and a half months from their rematch at UFC 257. This means McGregor had ample time to reconsider his mistakes and think of a plan for the troubling calf kicks. Although ‘The Notorious [http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/f4c49976c75c5ab2]’ lost the rematch, but he looked promising in the first round. The Irishman landed the more powerful and precise punches in the striking exchange which got him ahead on all three judges’ scorecards.

Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor Net Worth 2024, Wife, Next Fight, and More Who is Conor McGregor? There&#8217;s barely any UFC fan who is not familiar with the name Conor McGregor. ConchÃºr AntÃ³in Mac GrÃ©agÃ³ir, an Irish MMA fighter, has become synonymous with the UFC, at least for an entire generation of fans. Deemed one of the highest-earning athletes in the world, the first-ever UFC two-division champion charted the Forbes No. 1 list in 2021 for his earnings both inside and outside the octagon. Apart from his fighting prowess, he is today a successful entrepreneur and very much a family man. So hereâ€™s a detailed peek into UFCâ€™s very own â€˜Notorious.â€™ Conor McGregorâ€™s early lifeÂ  McGregor was born in the year 1988 to Margaret and Tony McGregor in the capital city of Ireland, Dublin. McGregor&#8217;s mother is Margaret McGregor, and his father&#8217;s name is Tony McGregor. Apart from these two, the McGregor family also consists of the fighter&#8217;s two sisters. Erin McGregor is his oldest sister, while his second older sister is named Aoife McGregor. Erin McGregor has also appeared as a contestant in the noted celebrity dance reality show, &#8216;Dancing with the Stars&#8217;. She also works as a fitness model. On the other hand, Aoife McGregor prefers staying out of the spotlight and runs an excavation business with her husband Mark Elliott in Dublin. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; attended Irish language schools for his education. He completed his primary schooling at Gaelscoil Scoil Mologa, in Harold&#8217;s Cross. He also got admitted toÂ  GaelcholÃ¡iste ColÃ¡iste de hÃde in Tallaght.   McGregor grew up in a rather violent neighborhood of Crumlin in Dublin. He also played football in his youth. But at the age of 12, McGregor started taking boxing lessons at the Crumlin Boxing Club to raise his confidence and defend himself in the fights he often got into. McGregor shifted to Lucan in Dublin in the year 2006. He also took up an apprenticeship as a plumber. Also, it was in Lucan where McGregor had his meeting with the former UFC fighter, Tom Egan. This meeting opened up whole new avenues before McGregor. They also started training in MMA together. Conor McGregor&#8217;s wife and children First and foremost it needs to be mentioned that Conor McGregor isn&#8217;t married as of now. The Irishman has been in a relationship with his girlfriend-turned-fiance, Dee Devlin. McGregor first met Devlin in 2008 and the two have been together ever since. However, their relationship became public post-McGregor&#8217;s UFC rise in 2013. The Dublin native also got engaged to the love of his life in the year 2020. McGregor and Devlin also have four three kids together named, Conor Jr., Croai, Rian, and their latest addition, Mack. McGregor&#8217;s son, Conor Jr. is his eldest offspring, followed by his daughter Croai. Then followed by Rian, and the youngest is Mack, born in November 2023. Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth 2024 The 35-year-old Irishman took the UFC and the sport of MMA to a whole new level since he joined in 2013. McGregor showcased his superb in-octagon prowess to become the first-ever champ-champ of the UFC. Understandably, the UFC also didn&#8217;t limit itself financially and awarded McGregor lucrative contracts.   &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; also holds an awesome insight about how he can multiply his money with investments. He has invested in numerous businesses to date and makes some hefty amounts from there as well. As far as reports suggest, &#8216;Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth&#8217; stands at a whopping $200M by the end of the year 2024. McGregor also receives his salary per fight, like every other UFC fighter. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; earned his all-time highest base salary in his two last bouts against the famed lightweight, Dustin Poirier, which stood at a whopping $5M. The same bouts also earned him his biggest paydays. Also, McGregor&#8217;s total earnings from both bouts were exactly the same. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; pocketed an insane $5,011,000 for each of the two fights. Conor McGregorâ€™s career timeline The boy who once started boxing to defend himself from bullies today rules the world of MMA. Here are some of the highlights of his decorated career: Began showing interest in MMA (April 2006) First MMA Fight (February 2007) First Professional MMA Fight (March 2009) UFC Debut (April 2013) Fastest UFC Knockout in Championship Match (Jose Aldo, December 2015) First simultaneous UFC double champion (Eddie Alvarez, November 2016) Professional Boxing Debut (August 2017) Conor McGregor: UFC record The later part of McGregor&#8217;s career saw him pick up quite a few losses. The UFC record of arguably the most noted figure in MMA currently stands at 22-6-0. His last win was against Donald Cerrone by TKO but sadly the fighter was in recovery after two consecutive losses against Dustin Poirier, with the latter leaving him with a fractured tibia that required surgical intervention.Â    The fighter has however independently announced his comeback, but we are still awaiting an official confirmation from the promotion he is contractually bound to. And as per his own revelation to The MMA Hour host Ariel Helwani, he has only two more fights left in his contract. He has further made it abundantly clear that his loyalties lie with the UFC and has denied any inclination towards free agency or otherwise.Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s next fight â€“ Who are the possible opponents for the UFC Star Most UFC fans are aware of the fact that &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; had his last octagon outing at UFC 264. After his gruesome shinbone injury in the bout against Dustin Poirier, McGregor was sidelined for an unprecedented amount of time. There were a lot of talks about 2023 being the year of his return. Several fans had also expected the same when McGregor was elected as one of the coaches for &#8216;The Ultimate Fighter&#8217; this year. As per the ritual, the two TUF coaches, McGregor and Michael Chandler were also pitted against each other for a bout that would also mark McGregor&#8217;s return to the octagon. But with &#8216;The Irishman&#8217; failing his USADA testing pool deadline, the entire bout is currently in jeopardy. McGregor and Chandler were scheduled to compete at the last PPV of 2023. Nonetheless, now that he is back at the testing pool, it seems that 2024 is really the year.Â Earlier, the UFC president Dana White sounded pretty keen to make this bout happen when he talked about exempting McGregor from the USADA. McGregor&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve announcement which he deemed himself as &#8220;The Greatest Comeback in Sports History,&#8221;Â has only added to the excitement of his fans. The only update we have so far is that on June 29th, 2024, &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; will be facing Michael Chandler and at a weight neither has ventured yet- 185 Lbs. Regardless, the UFC or head honcho Dana White is yet to provide any confirmation on the ordeal, and so far, no contracts have been signed. Given the lack of sufficient confirmation, Chandler has been outspoken about getting restless, and that he is not worried about fighting at a different weight.Â But, in an unpredictable sport like MMA, we will still have to wait and watch who exactly McGregor fights next. Conor McGregorâ€™s businesses and endorsements &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; is easily among the wealthiest mixed martial artists. He has huge endorsement deals and tie-ups with Monster Energy, Reebok, Beats Electronics, Burger King, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Budweiser. Additionally, McGregor has his clothing line, August McGregor, and his whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve. McGregor set foot into the spirits industry in September 2018 with his Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey. Initially, McGregor launched the product in the US and Ireland only. However, the success of the product had McGregor expressing his wishes to restock in the US and Ireland. via Getty McGregor also intended to introduce his whiskey into the markets of the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and Canada in 2019. However, in 2021 it was reported that McGregor and his partners had sold their shares of Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey to &#8216;Proximo Siprits&#8217; for a hefty $600M. READ MORE &#8211; Conor McGregor Arrest: What Case Is the UFC Star Involved In Now? Alongside all these, McGregor also owns a chain of pubs called the Black Forge Inn. They have several outlets in some of the noted cities of this world. However, McGregor&#8217;s Black Forge Inn pub in Dublin was subjected to an attack from criminals on 12 January 2022. The hooligans threw petrol bombs targeting the pub. Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident. McGregor also promised a cash reward to anyone identifying the criminals Conor McGregorâ€™s UFC careerÂ  McGregor made his professional debut as a lightweight in 2008. The Irishman made waves in the European MMA scene and finally found himself in Britain&#8217;s biggest promotion, The Cage Warriors. There he set up an 8 fight winning streak. In the same time frame, he became the Cage Warriors featherweight and lightweight double champion, the first European to do so. McGregor&#8217;s journey in the UFC is nothing but a fairy tale. He finished Marcus Brimage via knockout in his debut in 2013. After defeating the famed Max Holloway in his second bout, McGregor became a household name even to the UFC audience. His further wins against Dustin Poirier and Dennis Siver made sure that his demand to fight for the UFC Featherweight Championship was answered positively. But McGregor had to take on the Interim Featherweight Champion, Chad Mendes, before his title bout against the then-injured Featherweight kingpin, Jose Aldo. McGregor got the better of Mendes with a TKO in a neck-to-neck battle in UFC 189. He crowned himself the Interim Featherweight Champion, further justifying his Featherweight title shot. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; finally had his much-awaited Featherweight title bout against Jose Aldo at UFC 194. Most UFC fans would agree that McGregor delivered one of the most iconic performances in the history of the UFC that night. He knocked out the fan-favorite, Aldo, in just 13 seconds of the bout claiming his UFC Featherweight title. McGregor had his first UFC loss against the coveted Nate Diaz at UFC 196 when he decided to move up to the Welterweight division. Diaz landed a few clean strikes in the second round of the bout which made McGregor shoot for a double leg. However, the &#8216;Stockton Gangster&#8217; used his superb BJJ skills to transition it to a rear-naked choke and submitted McGregor at the 4:12 mark of the second round. But during their rematch at UFC 202, McGregor avenged his defeat. Post that, he also earned the lightweight belt by defeating then-champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205. But McGregor couldn&#8217;t defend his Featherweight title successfully even once as he was stripped of it on 26 November 2016. The UFC authorities blamed it on his inactivity and announced that he had vacated the title himself. However, McGregor&#8217;s associates said that he was stripped. Conor McGregor&#8217;s Fight Against Floyd Mayweather Jr. McGregor&#8217;s fame in the UFC had him venturing out into other avenues as well. In June 2017, a boxing bout between McGregor and the coveted undefeated boxer, Floyd Mayweather, was announced. The bout was expected to be the most cost-involved boxing matchup at that time. The earnings of Mayweather from the bout stood at a whopping $280M while &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; also earned a lump sum amount of $130M. via Getty However, McGregor didn&#8217;t quite have the outcome of his choice, as he was knocked out by Mayweather in the tenth round of the bout. But this bout earned him a lot of respect from the boxing community. Conor McGregorâ€™s Graphic Injury at UFC 264 Conor McGregor in his third fight against rival Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, had an immensely toxic buildup to the fight. One reason for the toxicity between the two is an unpaid charity pledge, which McGregor promised in their second fight at UFC 257.Â  Leading up to their fight at UFC 264, both McGregor and Poirier had one win over each other, and their fight at UFC 264 was supposed to be the tiebreaker. Ironically enough, this didnâ€™t seem to be the case, as the fight ended prematurely, with McGregor snapping his leg near the end of the very first round.Â  This led to Dustin Poirier Being termed the winner of the fight via Doctorâ€™s Stoppage. The injury has kept him out of action for over two years. However, the Irishman is finally aiming for a return in 2024. Despite the injury, McGregor has kept himself busy focusing on his outside of fighting.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s major achievements and awards Interim UFC Featherweight Championship against Chad Mendes at UFC 189, 2015 UFC Featherweight Championship against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 UFC Lightweight Championship against Eddie Alvarez via TKO, UFC 205, 2016 Fight of the Night (Two times) vs. Nate Diaz (x2) First Irish-born UFC champion Third Multi-Divisional Champion in UFC History (Featherweight, Lightweight) First simultaneous multi-divisional champion in UFC history (Featherweight, Lightweight) Fastest win in a UFC Championship fight (13 seconds) vs. JosÃ© Aldo Conor McGregor&#8217;s charity works Leaving aside the controversies, McGregor has done a lot of charity work for his community. He donated $1 million to first responders following the success of his whiskey brand. Moreover, McGregor also gave away 50,000 to help the homeless people of Ireland. In May 2020, McGregor donated 1.3 million worth of PPE to Irish hospitals to fight the battle against Coronavirus. Additionally, McGregor has inspired several fans including a disabled man to turn their lives around. In April 2021, McGregor donated $500,000 to The Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana.

The tagline appears- â€˜sport the unexpected.â€™Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s house The UFC fighter, a family man, owns several houses, all worthy of a king. One is of course in his homeland, wherein he spent two million Euros for the lush The Paddocks near Straffan. The property boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and even a games room. Apart from that it faces River Liffey and even has a horse riding establishment.Â  He also owns a luxe property in Marbella, which is his holiday abode that came at a price of nearly 1.3 million Euros.

And of course, how can â€˜The Notoriousâ€™ skip the Sin City! The Mac Mansion sits only minutes away from the Vegas Strip, with seven bedrooms, a 50ft luxury pool, as well as its very own golf course.Â  And to nobodyâ€™s surprise, all his properties have customized gyms, and spas, that make sure McGregor can train anywhere he is.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s knockouts Hereâ€™s a list of McGregorâ€™s knockouts, starting from his latest win-Â  Against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246, 2020 Against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, 2016 Against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 Against Chad Mendes, UFC 189, 2015 Against Dennis Siver, UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Silver, 2015 Against Dustin Poirier, UFC 178, 2014 Against Diego Brandao, UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Brandao, 2014 Against Marcus Brimage, UFC on FUEL TV: Mousasi vs Latifi, 2014 How to contact Conor McGregor?

Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson&#8217;s Net Worth 2024, Salary, Partner, Family, and More Who is Mike Tyson? Michael Gerard Tyson, widely known as Mike Tyson, is an American former professional boxer, often celebrated as one of the most fearsome fighters in heavyweight boxing history. Nicknamed &#8220;Iron Mike&#8221; for his raw power and aggressive style, Tyson dominated the boxing world in the 1980s and became the youngest heavyweight champion at the age of 20. His terrifying persona and unpredictable temperament led him to be known as &#8220;The Baddest Man on the Planet.&#8221; Tyson&#8217;s career, spanning from 1985 to 2005, is marked by both astonishing victories and deeply controversial moments, such as his infamous 1997 &#8220;Bite Fight&#8221; against Evander Holyfield. At the height of his boxing fame, he was one of the wealthiest athletes in the world.

Raised in a tough Brooklyn neighborhood, he encountered challenges that shaped his life both inside and outside the ring. Tyson’s explosive fighting style, grounded in his legendary “Peek-a-Boo” defense technique, made him an intimidating presence, often winning fights by knockout in the early rounds. Despite his achievements, his life has also been marked by legal issues, financial troubles, and personal struggles, making his story one of resilience, reinvention, and redemption. Mike Tyson’s Early Life Born on June 30, 1966, in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, New York, Mike Tyson&#8217;s early life was fraught with difficulties. His father, Purcell Tyson, abandoned the family when Mike was young, leaving his mother, Lorna Smith, to raise him and his two siblings, Rodney and Denise, on her own. Tyson’s early childhood was shaped by the challenges of growing up in a crime-heavy neighborhood, often witnessing violence and poverty. Frequent moves and financial instability left Tyson with a chaotic and troubled upbringing. By age ten, Tyson had moved with his family to Brownsville, Brooklyn, known as one of the most dangerous areas in New York City. Tyson&#8217;s aggressive streak became apparent early on, and he quickly earned a reputation as a fierce street fighter. By age 13, he had been arrested 38 times for petty crimes, many related to his involvement in local gangs. Tyson’s life took a positive turn when he was placed in the Tryon School for Boys, a juvenile detention center in Johnstown, New York. There, a counselor named Bobby Stewart, who was also an amateur boxing champion, noticed Tyson’s potential. Stewart introduced Tyson to legendary boxing trainer Cus D&#8217;Amato, who became a father figure to the young fighter and took him under his wing. D&#8217;Amato saw raw talent in Tyson and believed he had the potential to become the heavyweight champion of the world. The trainer&#8217;s guidance and discipline laid the foundation for Tyson’s future boxing career and eventual stardom. Image Credits &#8211; Cus D&#8217;Amato Boxing Club (Instagram) Mike Tyson’s Wife, Kids and Former Partners The 58-year-old has been married three times and is the father of seven children, including the late Exodus Tyson, who tragically passed away in 2009. His first marriage was to actress Robin Givens in 1988. The relationship quickly became troubled, with allegations of domestic abuse and erratic behavior leading to a highly publicized divorce in 1989. Givens described Tyson as volatile and abusive, and their split was covered extensively by the media, adding fuel to Tyson’s image as a controversial figure. Tyson’s second marriage was to pediatrician Monica Turner, whom he married in 1997. The couple had two children, Amir and Rayna, but divorced in 2003 due to Tyson’s infidelity. Despite the split, Turner has spoken positively about Tyson’s role as a father. In 2009, Tyson married Lakiha &#8220;Kiki&#8221; Spicer, and they have two children together, Morocco and Milan. Spicer has been a steady influence in Tyson’s life, helping him through personal and financial hardships. Press conference film Bunny-Man.

Turin, Italy 07 February 2024, PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxUKxFRAxUSA Copyright: xGiulioxLaponexSyncx/xAvalonx 0844275651 In addition to his marriages, Tyson has had relationships with several women, including Kimberly Scarborough, with whom he has a daughter named Mikey Lorna Tyson. His relationship with Sol Xochitl produced two children, Miguel Leon Tyson and Exodus Tyson. Tragically, Exodus passed away at the age of four in 2009 after a tragic accident involving a treadmill cord. This incident deeply affected Tyson, marking one of the most sorrowful moments in his life. Mike Tyson’s Net Worth 2024 As of 2024, Mike Tyson’s net worth is estimated at $10 million. Tyson’s earnings from boxing were once astronomical, reaching an estimated $400 million in total. During his peak, he was among the wealthiest athletes globally, raking in millions from fights and endorsements. However, extravagant spending, legal issues, and poor financial management led Tyson to declare bankruptcy in 2003. He reportedly owed nearly $23 million to various creditors, including the IRS, after years of high living and costly lawsuits.

(Photo by Focus on Sport/Gettty Images) Since then, Tyson has rebuilt his wealth through a mix of business ventures, endorsements, and public appearances. His 2020 exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. drew significant pay-per-view sales, bringing in around $80 million. Tyson also launched his cannabis brand, Tyson 2.0, which has become one of his most lucrative ventures, generating roughly $900,000 monthly. This, combined with endorsements and his podcast Hotboxin&#8217; with Mike Tyson, has allowed him to stabilize his financial status and regain some of his wealth. Mike Tyson’s Career Timeline 1985: Mike Tyson’s professional career began on March 6, when he knocked out Hector Mercedes in the first round. Tyson went on to win his first 19 fights by knockout, 12 of them in the very first round, which quickly established his reputation as a fearsome contender. 1986: Tyson claimed his first title, the WBC heavyweight championship, on November 22, after defeating Trevor Berbick by TKO in the second round. This victory made him the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history at the age of 20 years and 4 months. 1987: Tyson unified the heavyweight division, winning the WBA and IBF titles and becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. He was widely regarded as the most formidable boxer of his era. 1988: Tyson successfully defended his titles against top fighters, including Larry Holmes and Tony Tubbs, reinforcing his position as the reigning champion.

(via Getty Images) 1990: In a stunning upset on February 11, James &#8220;Buster&#8221; Douglas knocked out Tyson in the tenth round at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, ending his undefeated streak. Tyson&#8217;s defeat to Douglas remains one of the most shocking moments in boxing history. 1992-1995: Tyson was convicted of assaulting model Desiree Washington in 1992 and sentenced to six years in prison. He served three years before being released in 1995.  1996: Tyson reclaimed the WBC and WBA heavyweight titles in his comeback, defeating Frank Bruno and Bruce Seldon. Later that year, he faced Evander Holyfield, losing by TKO in the 11th round. 1997: Tyson’s rematch with Holyfield became infamous as the &#8220;Bite Fight.&#8221; Tyson was disqualified for biting Holyfield’s ear, resulting in the Nevada State Athletic Commission revoking his boxing license and fining him $3 million. 2002: On June 8 in Memphis, Tennessee, Mike Tyson fought Lennox Lewis in a heavyweight title bout that drew 1.95 million pay-per-view buys, ranking among the era&#8217;s highest-grossing events. Lewis leveraged his 84-inch reach and technical skill, dominating the match and knocking out Tyson in the eighth round to retain his WBC, IBF, and IBO titles. This marked Tyson’s final bid for a heavyweight title, solidifying Lewis&#8217;s legacy while concluding a significant chapter in Tyson&#8217;s career. 2005: After consecutive losses, Tyson retired from professional boxing. His last match was against Kevin McBride, where he retired in the sixth round. 2020: Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. Despite ending in a draw, the match drew immense viewership, reflecting Tyson’s enduring popularity.

Organized and promoted by Jake Paul&#8217;s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), the event will be broadcast live on Netflix, marking the platform’s entry into high-profile boxing broadcasts.

(Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images for Netflix) Mike Tyson’s Partnerships and Endorsements Over the years, Tyson has collaborated with several prominent brands, leveraging his fame and boxing legacy. In his early career, Tyson endorsed Pepsi, Nintendo, and Toyota. In recent years, Tyson has endorsed Black Energy Drink, CopperGel, and Smart Cups. He also has partnerships with Futurola, a company offering premium smoking accessories like pre-rolls and cones, and Zumiez, a fashion brand. Tyson’s influence expanded with his Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast, where he interviews celebrities and athletes. His brand, Tyson Pro, offers performance athletic gear, while the MT Collection includes official Tyson merchandise. These partnerships underscore Tyson’s influence in various industries, from sportswear to lifestyle products. There is another partnership that Mike Tyson had. This was with legendary boxing promoter, Don King. Don King became involved with Tyson around the time Tyson became the undisputed heavyweight champion in 1987. Tyson was initially managed by Cus D&#8217;Amato and then later by Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton. After the death of Jacobs in 1988, Don King moved in as a mentor and promoter, positioning himself as a father figure for Tyson. King saw an opportunity in Tyson&#8217;s rising stardom and quickly became his promoter. King promised Tyson greater control over his career and higher earnings. Tyson, drawn by King&#8217;s charismatic presence and promises, eventually parted ways with Cayton, putting his career in King’s hands. (Original Caption) Mike Tyson, Don King, and Mohammed Ali, all clasping hands wearing tuxedos in the boxing ring at the Las Vegas Hilton. During their partnership, King arranged some of the highest-grossing fights of Tyson’s career, including bouts against Frank Bruno and Evander Holyfield. Under King’s guidance, Tyson achieved extraordinary fame and wealth, with King reportedly taking a significant percentage of Tyson’s fight earnings. Despite this, Tyson trusted King during these peak years, relying on him as both a promoter and confidant. The relationship began to deteriorate in the early 1990s, especially after Tyson was convicted and imprisoned for assault in 1992. Upon his release in 1995, Tyson’s suspicions about King’s management practices grew. Tyson eventually accused King of exploiting him financially, alleging that King had taken millions from his earnings and engaged in unethical practices. In 1998, Tyson filed a $100 million lawsuit against King, claiming financial exploitation and breach of trust. The suit was settled out of court for a reported $14 million, but Tyson severed ties with King permanently, referring to him in later years as &#8220;ruthless&#8221; and &#8220;deceptive&#8221;. Mike Tyson’s Investments Mike Tyson&#8217;s most profitable investment is in the cannabis industry, where he launched Tyson 2.0, his cannabis brand. His unique product, “Mike Bites,” cannabis edibles shaped like an ear, references the infamous “Bite Fight” with Holyfield. Tyson 2.0 has proven to be financially successful, generating roughly $900,000 monthly. Today, the brand is worth more than $16 million. The brand expanded to include a line called “Holy Bites” in partnership with Evander Holyfield. Tyson 2.0 also partnered with Ric Flair’s “Ric Flair Drip” brand, increasing its market reach and appeal.

This venture is part of his broader involvement in the wellness and lifestyle sectors, aimed at normalizing cannabis use and reducing the stigma around it.

The technique, taught to him by Cus D’Amato, involved holding his gloves close to his face and constantly bobbing and weaving to evade opponents’ punches. This allowed Tyson to close in on his opponents and deliver devastating knockout punches, often ending fights early. Mike Tyson’s Charity and Foundation Mike Tyson has contributed to several charitable causes over the years, including his own Mike Tyson Cares Foundation, which provides support for at-risk youth. The foundation’s initiatives focus on healthcare, education, and housing, providing a safe environment for children from troubled backgrounds. Tyson has also participated in various events and made donations to support different causes, reflecting his desire to give back to the community despite his turbulent past. Mike Tyson’s House Mike Tyson currently resides in Henderson, Nevada, a suburban area near Las Vegas. His residence is considerably more modest than the luxurious mansions he owned during his prime. Tyson previously owned a mansion in Connecticut that included a nightclub, casino, and indoor pool, among other extravagant features. He also owned properties in Ohio, Maryland, and Nevada. Following his bankruptcy, Tyson sold many of these properties, including his Connecticut mansion, which was later purchased by rapper 50 Cent.
