Mike Tyson

Michael Gerard Tyson (born June 30, 1966, Brooklyn, New York, USA) is a former American professional boxer and World Heavyweight Champion, and is considered by many to be one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. In his prime, he routinely defeated prominent opponents in devastating fashion, and was one of the most feared boxers in the sport, known by such nicknames as "Iron" Mike Tyson and The Baddest Man on the Planet.

His once immensely promising career was undermined by serious personal problems, lack of preparation, and two periods of imprisonment. Upon release of his first prison sentence, he attempted a heavily anticipated comeback, but failed to reclaim his previous dominance. On June 11, 2005, Tyson suffered a defeat to journeyman Kevin McBride, and shortly later unofficially retired from the sport.
