Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson was born on June 30, 1966, in New York City, USA. He is a retired professional boxer, widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Tyson became the youngest boxer to win the Heavyweight Championship at just 20 years old. Known for his aggressive fighting style and knockout power, Tyson was the undisputed heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990, securing titles from the WBC, WBA, and IBF.
Throughout his career, Tyson faced both significant achievements and controversies. After a successful run in the late 1980s, including the famous Mike Tyson Punch-Out video game, his personal life and legal issues, including a prison sentence for rape, affected his boxing career. He later became known for his infamous ear-biting incident during a fight with Evander Holyfield in 1997.
Since retiring in 2005, Tyson has reinvented himself as an actor, television personality, and promoter. He also struggled with substance abuse and bankruptcy but has made a significant comeback through media appearances, including a one-man Broadway show and acting roles in films such as The Hangover.
Net Worth: Tyson’s net worth has fluctuated dramatically due to his financial struggles and subsequent recovery. As of recent estimates, his net worth is around $3 million, though this is down from his peak earnings, which once included earnings in the tens of millions during his boxing career.
