Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson is a former American professional boxer who became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at age 20, known for his explosive power and intimidating fighting style during the late 1980s.
Tyson turned professional in 1985 and rose rapidly through the heavyweight ranks, winning his first world title in 1986 at age 20 to become the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history.
His dominant, aggressive fighting style made him one of the most feared and popular boxers of his era, though his career was later marked by significant personal and legal troubles, including a highly publicized prison sentence in the early 1990s.
Tyson returned to boxing after his release and remained a major draw for the rest of the decade, though his later career was defined as much by controversy as by his athletic accomplishments, including a notorious 1997 fight in which he bit opponent Evander Holyfield's ear.
