Here is another good example of a very cruel boxer. He has got so many nicknames like “Iron Mike”, “The Baddest Man on the Planet” or “Kid Dynamite” but I wanna call him “Ear Eater”.
Michael Gerard or Mike Tyson was born on June 30, 1966. He is now a retired American boxer who was once the undisputed heavyweight champion and remains the youngest man ever to win and lose a world heavyweight title. But unluckily he wasn’t just well-known for his boxing career but his controversial behavior both inside and outside the ring fight.
He won his first 19 pro bouts by knockout, how amazing was that, and 12 of which in the first round. He was the Heavyweight Champion for over 2 years until he lost to an underdog Buster Douglas in 1990.
Too bad the guy is not good at keeping himself clean. 16 years ago in 1992, he was convicted of raping a woman. And as a consequence for that he served 3 years in prison. He was back to fight after he was released from the prison. But he didn’t do some good works as he did before even though he regained a portion of the heavyweight title because only a year later he lost to Evander Holyfield, poor guy, who lost an ear in their rematch a year later.
He continued fighting though until he retired from competitive boxing only 3 years ago after two consecutive KO losses to Danny Williams and Kevin MaBride.
Now let’s take a look at the video clip below of some of his KO collection. You can look for more of his clips in YouTube or anywhere. I’m sure his name will remain unforgettable for quite a long time due to his fame in the past.
