Mike Tyson’s rise to boxing greatness began with a stunning 91-second knockout of Michael Spinks, making him the youngest heavyweight champion in history at just 20 years old. His power and speed earned him the nickname “Iron Mike,” and he quickly became a dominant force in the sport.
However, Tyson’s reign was followed by a dramatic fall. In 1990, he faced Buster Douglas, a heavy underdog with 42-1 odds against him. Tyson, overconfident and distracted by personal struggles, underestimated Douglas. In one of boxing’s biggest upsets, Douglas knocked Tyson out in the 10th round, ending his undefeated streak and marking the start of his decline. Tyson’s loss to Douglas remains a shocking moment in boxing history, highlighting how quickly a champion’s fortunes can change.
