Mike Tyson, often referred to as "Iron Mike" or "Kid Dynamite," is one of the most iconic and feared boxers in the history of the sport. Known for his ferocious fighting style and devastating knockout punches, Tyson's journey to becoming a boxing legend is a story of determination, resilience, and the power of mentorship.
Born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, Tyson had a difficult childhood marred by poverty, crime, and an unstable family environment. He often found himself in trouble with the law, engaging in street fights and petty crime. At the age of 12, Tyson was sent to a juvenile detention center, where he was introduced to boxing by counselor and former boxer, Bobby Stewart.
