Mike Tyson, born June 30, 1966, is an American boxer, actor, and businessman who competed in the ring from 1985 to 2005. Mike grew up tough before finding boxing and going pro at 18. He held the undisputed world heavyweight championship from August 1987 to February 1990.
In the middle of his career in 1992, Mike was convicted of sexual assault which led to a six year prison sentence, but he was released after serving three years. Following his release from jail, Mike fought in a series of comeback bouts. One was his notorious 1997n bout with Evander Holyfield, where he bit his ear off. By the time he retired in 2006 at the age of 40, Mike had won 50 of his 58 matches, 44 of which were won by KO.
Although Mike Tyson, the professional boxer, has not fought in a while, he will face Jake Paul on November 15, 2024, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
