Michael Gerard Tyson (born June 30, 1966) is an American former professional boxer

who competed from 1985 to 2005. Nicknamed "Iron Mike"[4] and "Kid Dynamite" in his
early career, and later known as "The Baddest Man on the Planet",[5] Tyson is
considered to be one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time.[6] He reigned
as the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990. Tyson won his first
19 professional fights by knockout, 12 of them in the first round. Claiming his
first belt at 20 years, four months, and 22 days old, Tyson holds the record as the
youngest boxer ever to win a heavyweight title.[7] He was the first heavyweight
boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, as well as the only
heavyweight to unify them in succession. The following year, Tyson became the
lineal champion when he knocked out Michael Spinks in 91 seconds of the first
round.[8] In 1990, Tyson was knocked out by underdog Buster Douglas[9] in one of
the biggest upsets in boxing history.
