Just a kid from the streets of Brooklyn, to Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World - Mike Tyson's story is a true tale of rags to riches...
At the tender age of 13, Mike went to work in a gym in Catskills with the trainer of champions, Cus D'Amato. While there, he racked up an impressive 24-3 amateur record. His feline speed and raw power had already marked him as a champion and brought him to the attention of the pro boxing world. In 1985, as his debut onto the pro circuit, Tyson knocked out Hector Mercedes in the first round, and by the end of the year had achieved 15 wins - all by knockout - with no losses. It was clear from that point on, that his sights were set on nothing less than a Championship title.
Less than two years later, on 22nd November 1986, Tyson went into the ring with Trevor Berbick for the WBC heavyweight title. After only six minutes, the belt and the champion's title were his; at the age of 20, he was the youngest heavyweight champion ever.
Never a man to be satisfied with anything less than the ultimate he could achieve, Mike Tyson set his sights on the WBA and IBF belts and embarked on a mission to unify all heavyweight boxing titles into the hands of one man. So it was on March 7th 1987, that Tyson took a 12-round victory over James 'Bonecrusher' Smith, to become the World Boxing Association Heavyweight Champion. Less than five months later, he out-pointed Tony Tucker to claim the International Boxing Federation belt.
Thus on August 1st 1987, Michael Gerard Tyson, the boy from Brooklyn, became the first man in a decade, the first in fact since Muhammed Ali, to hold all three titles and rule as Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World.
