“Iron Mike” · Heavyweight · 1985–2024
Brownsville, Brooklyn, then a reform school, then a house in the Catskills, where trainer Cus D’Amato took in a troubled teenager and built a fighter around him: low, compact, head always moving, punching from angles that bigger men don’t see coming. In March 1985, at 18, Mike Tyson stepped into a professional ring for the first time, in Albany, New York. Outside a small circle of boxing people, nobody knew his name yet. Start at fight one and watch everyone else find out, one fight at a time.
