Mike Tyson’s life story is nothing short of a captivating and inspiring tale of perseverance, dedication, and triumph. Born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, Tyson’s journey from being a criticized and scrawny young boy to becoming one of the most feared and celebrated boxers in the world is a testament to the power of determination and resilience.

Growing up in the tough neighborhoods of Brooklyn, Tyson faced numerous challenges from an early age. His family struggled with poverty, and his father was absent from his life. Tyson’s small stature and lisp made him an easy target for bullies, and he often found himself in street fights. However, it was during these early years that Tyson’s love for boxing was ignited.

At the age of 12, Tyson was introduced to boxing by a local youth counselor, Bobby Stewart. Recognizing Tyson’s potential, Stewart began to train him, teaching him the fundamentals of the sport. Tyson’s speed, power, and natural talent for boxing quickly became apparent, and he started winning amateur fights.

One of the most pivotal moments in Tyson’s life came when he met legendary boxing trainer and manager, Cus D’Amato. D’Amato took Tyson under his wing, not only as a trainer but also as a father figure. Under D’Amato’s guidance, Tyson developed not only his physical skills but also his mental toughness and discipline.

In 1985, at the age of 18, Tyson turned professional and quickly gained a reputation for his ferocious knockouts. His incredible rise through the ranks of professional boxing culminated when he became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at the age of 20, a record that still stands today. Tyson’s devastating punching power, combined with his speed and agility, made him a force to be reckoned with in the ring.

Despite his remarkable success in the boxing world, Tyson faced numerous personal challenges and controversies, including legal troubles and publicized bouts of erratic behavior. These setbacks cast a shadow over his career and led to his temporary downfall. After serving time in prison, Tyson made a remarkable comeback, displaying a newfound maturity and dedication to his craft. While he never quite reached the same heights as his earlier career, he continued to be a respected and beloved figure in the boxing world.

Mike Tyson’s journey from a criticized, skinny boy on the streets of Brooklyn to a world-renowned boxing champion is a story of resilience, redemption, and unwavering determination. His life serves as an inspiration to all, demonstrating that with the right guidance and relentless pursuit of one’s dreams, even the most unlikely individuals can achieve greatness. Mike Tyson will forever be remembered as one of the greatest boxers in history, not just for his incredible skill in the ring, but also for the incredible story of his life.

Iron Mike was NOT happy with the fan.

Mike Tyson lost his cool with a fan while hitting pads after the fan accidentally hit him in the face.

Tyson is currently training for his highly controversial fight with YouTuber turned professional boxer, Jake Paul.

The fight has faced vast criticism from those high up in the boxing scene, with many calling out the significant 31 age difference between the two fighters.

The announcement of the fight came last month and sent shockwaves through the combat sports community.

The event will be shown live on Netflix, with the streaming giant set to broadcast the event from the AT&T Stadium on July 20th, marking their first venture into live combat sports.

Dana White recently confirmed that Tyson is taking the fight extremely seriously, and footage of the 57-year-old sparring has backed up this claim.

Things didn’t exactly go to plan in a recent spar with a fan when the fan accidentally caught Tyson in the face while hitting pads.

With such a big fight coming up, and Tyson now at the age where injury is more likely it was clear the former heavyweight champ wasn’t pleased with the fan and made sure to warn him.

“Calm down, calm down, If anyone hits them I’m gonna f*ck them up,” Tyson said in the clip via his Snapchat.

“I’m just letting you know you made a mistake I’m gonna f*ck you up,” He added.

While Tyson seemed to let the fan off the hook, punching Mike Tyson in the face isn’t something you should be aiming to do very often unless you’re a fan of the hospital.

The rules of the fight have recently been confirmed, with the bout being confirmed as an exhibition rather than a professional fight.

Speaking to Fox News, ‘Iron Mike’ confirmed this, but had a message to fans who were disappointed at this news assuring them it would be a proper fight.

Tyson said: “This is called an exhibition, but if you look up exhibition, you will not see any of the laws that we are fighting under, this is a fight.”

“Tommy, bro, let’s make the fight happen, buddy, let’s make it happen!”

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury came face-to-face on FaceTime recently and they couldn’t resist going at one another. Check it out below:

The pair have been scheduled to face off twice in the last year but both times fell through. Fury was injured last December and had to pull out, while he was denied entry to the United States back in August.

Fans are still keen to see both men settle their differences in the ring after a multi-year rivalry on social media.

Paul is set to fight MMA legend Anderson Silva on October 29 and a recent video proves Fury could still be on the horizon.

‘The Problem Child’ decided to call WBO, WBC and IBO featherweight champion Amanda Serrano after her title defence against Sarah Mahfoud on Saturday evening. Paul is Serrano’s promoter and wanted to check in on his client.

Fury was at the AO Arena in Manchester to see teammate Joseph Parker take on Joe Joyce in a losing effort and after the event, he visited Serrano and Paul’s manager Nakisa Bidarian.

“Oh no, Tommy! Wait, are you dating Amanda Serrano now?” the YouTuber joked as Fury appeared on the screen. “Tommy, bro, let’s make the fight happen, buddy, let’s make it happen!”

The 23-year-old didn’t commit, but before hanging up cryptically replied: “I’ll see you soon.”

Fury has a professional record of 8-0 and last defeated Daniel Bocianski in April.

Paul, meanwhile, has been inactive since December when he knocked out Tyron Woodley to take his record to 5-0.

Hasim Rahman Jr. stepped in to replace Fury in August, but that fight was then called off.

His clash with Silva is will be the toughest of his career so far and ‘The Spider’ is coming off consecutive victories over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Tito Ortiz.

Silva recently defended Paul and his older brother, Logan, for dipping their toes into combat sports after becoming social media stars.

Logan is currently in the WWE and will be facing Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel on November 5.

“The people think both of these kids don’t have respect for doing something like I’m doing now,” Silva told MMA Junkie. “But it’s very special. Why? Because both of these kids are working hard, and what happened to the people?

“When people don’t do something hard, something special, try to talk, try to question, try to say, ‘Oh, this is terrible, it’s fake.’ But the kid’s doing an amazing job. The kid’s working hard. I respect the kid (Jake). But fight is fight. Jake training hard for fight with me, I’m training hard for fight with Jake, and let’s go do it.”

He just had to get a word in.

Jake Paul brutally trolled longtime rival Tommy Fury after his partner Molly-Mae Hague announced her pregnancy.

Fury and Hague, who met on ITV reality series Love Island in 2019, confirmed they were expecting their first child in an Instagram post on Sunday afternoon.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, who has seen two potential fights with Fury fall through in the last year, couldn’t let the moment pass without having a say.

‘The Problem Child’ quote tweeted a fan sharing the news and said: “Shocking. Tommy usually pulls out.”

Paul and Fury started their feud back in 2021 and the former even alleged he received DMs from Molly-Mae, although that has been disputed.

A fight was scheduled for December 2021 which Fury had pull out of. The 23-year-old suffered a rib injury in training and developed a bacterial chest infection, which he shared images of to social media.

Both parties decided to reschedule the fight for this past August, but Fury once again had to pull out after being denied entry to the United States.

Fury is the younger half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson and has a professional record of 8-0. His last victory came against Daniel Bocianski in April.

Paul, meanwhile, knocked out replacement opponent Tyron Woodley out in December to extend his record to 5-0.

He will be returning to action on October 29 against UFC legend Anderson Silva in his hardest test so far.

Silva is a former UFC middleweight champion and considered one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time.

When asked if his legacy will be on the line against Paul, he told MMA Junkie: “Definitely not, definitely not. I came here to do my best. I’m training hard every day, and fighters fight.

“You have two fighters inside the ring. Two fighters have 50 percent to win. I have 50 percent and Jake has 50 percent. It doesn’t matter if people say, ‘Oh, it’s not a real fighter or not.’ But when you go inside the ring, you don’t go to stop, you go to kill, you go to die. That’s that’s the point.”

Joshua has until today to sign the contract.

Tyson Fury has confirmed he will take on Mahmoud Charr in December if Anthony Joshua fails to sign the contract for their fight by the end of Monday. Check out Fury’s latest video below:

Fury offered his fellow Brit a chance at the WBC heavyweight championship earlier this month, but it’s yet to be officially confirmed.

‘The Gypsy King’ has given Joshua a deadline of 5pm or he’ll be ‘moving on’ to former WBA heavyweight champion Charr.

Per Michael Benson, Tyson left a comment on an Instagram video of Charr which reads: “If he (Joshua) don’t sign today, you (Charr) are in big G.

“And you can show them how a real man throws down.”

Charr called Joshua a ‘p**sy boy’ and claimed he would be ready to step up.

He stated: “Salam Alaikum, Tyson Fury. You know and I know that Anthony p**sy boy will not sign the paper tomorrow.

“Take my challenge. I am ready for you.”

The 37-year-old has a 33-4 record and is on a five fight unbeaten run.

Joshua lost his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk last month and shortly after, was publicly given the chance to go at it with Fury.

Back in April, Fury retired after defeating Dillian Whyte but reversed his decision over the summer.

The duo went back and forth over a date on social media before they agreed on December 3.

‘AJ’ told fans the contract is currently with his lawyer and that’s what has delayed confirmation.

He said in a video posted on Sunday: “I’ve been signing contracts for years. It’s not in my hands, it’s with the legal team.

“That’s why you hire lawyers. If you know the history of boxing make sure you get your legal terms right.

“That’s why you got good managers and good lawyers.

“So, of course, I’m going to sign the contract. It’s just with some lawyers at the minute.”

Fury had given his heavyweight rival to 5pm on Monday to sign a deal to fight him in December but that has now fallen through.

Tyson Fury took to social media once again took to social media to call out Anthony Joshua, this time to claim that their fight was off. And you can see it in the video below.

Fury and Joshua have been going back and forth for several years, with their rivalry only ever taking place on social media and interviews, rather than in the ring, where it should take place.

Last year the pair looked to have finally agreed to fight, until courts in America ordered that Fury had to take on Deontay Wilder for a third time.

Once again in recent weeks fans have been getting excited over the potential for the two British heavyweights to finally meet, in one of the most highly anticipated fights in British boxing.

That was due to Oleksandr Usyk deciding to take a break and not fight until next year, after defeating AJ for a second time.

Fury recently handed the former world champion, Joshua, a deadline of Monday night to agree to the terms of their fight, with him and manager Frank Warren having sent them through.

Clearly that deadline has gone unanswered, with the Gypsy King now confirming that the pair won’t be meeting in the ring, and Fury appearing to rule out ever facing the 2012 Olympic champion.

“Well guys, it’s official, D-Day has come and gone,” the undefeated heavyweight said.

“It’s gone past five o’clock, Monday. No contract has been signed. It’s officially over for Joshua. He is now out in the cold, with the Wolfpack.

“Forget about it. Idiot, coward, sh*thouse, body builder. Always knew it, always knew you didn’t have the minerals to fight the Gypsy King.

“Regardless of what f**k you say now, I don’t really care.

“Good luck with your career and your life. End of, peace out.”

Whilst Joshua’s last outing was his loss to Usyk, Fury actually retired after he defended his WBC world title belt against Dillian Whyte.

Since then he’s sent several mixed messages about his future, including claiming he was going to fight UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

He looked willing to come out of retirement for the fights with Joshua or Usyk but, with those dead in the water, for now at least, he’s still set to tie up his gloves once more.

Ahead of the 5pm deadline, the 34-year-old had claimed that he was going to be fighting former WBA (Regular) champion Mahmoud Charr.

The 37-year-old German’s most recent attempt at winning the WBC belt that Fury holds was in 2012, when he lost to Vitali Klitschko.

The boxing community has sided with AJ after the Brit explained the fight contract was with his legal team.

Tyson Fury has been slammed by the boxing community for his contract saga with Anthony Joshua, with some going as far as to label him a ‘clown’.

The ‘Gypsy King’ took to social media earlier this week to announce he was calling off his offer for a huge battle with AJ as his rival hadn’t signed the contract in time.

The heavyweight had given Joshua a deadline of Monday (September 26) to sign the fight deal, and when that hadn’t happened he sensationally pulled the pin.

Fury told his followers: “It’s official, D-Day has come and gone.

“No contract has been signed. It’s officially over for Joshua. He’s now out in the cold… Forget about it.”

The undefeated champ labelled AJ an ‘idiot’ and a ‘coward’ while claiming his would-be opponent never actually wanted the fight.

However, Joshua retorted in an Instagram Live video, claiming he had every intention of signing the contract but was waiting on his legal team before doing so.

He said: “It ain’t in my hands – it’s with a legal team. That’s why you hire lawyers.

Adding: “You know the history of boxing – make sure you get your legal terms right. That’s why you get good management and good lawyers.

“So of course, I’m going to sign the contract – it’s just with some lawyers at the minute.”

I mean, that seems fair enough, why sign a multi-million dollar contract without having some professionals iron out the details firstly?

Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn had already indicated that there was ‘no chance’ of getting the contract signed by D-day.

And well, the boxing community also seems to be on the side of AJ and his team.

One fan tweeted: “Tyson Fury has turned into one of the biggest clowns in boxing.”

Another wrote: “Tyson Fury is just wasting everyone’s time. DAZN and BT were meant to be meeting today to discuss the fight and then Fury says he’s pulling out same day at 5 pm. Pathetic.”

A third added: “Hope everyone takes at least 5 minutes on their lunch break to think about just how much of a coward Tyson Fury is.”

With Fury setting such a tight deadline it’s hard to argue that he really wanted the fight and more likely just wanted to save face.

Fury says he is moving on to yet another potential opponent with Mahmoud Charr his preferred alternative.

He reposted the German’s challenge, writing: If [Joshua] don’t sign today you are in big G and you can show them how a real man throws down!”

“Give the British fans what they want. There is no more running, you have to fight me.”

Tyson Fury‘s proposed heavyweight title fight with Anthony Joshua could be back ON, with the ‘Gypsy King’ extended his deadline for the contracts to be signed. Watch the video below:

Fury and Joshua’s camps have been locked in negotiations over an huge all-British title fight to be held on December 3 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

WBC champion Fury set a deadline of 5pm on Monday for the fight contracts to be signed, warning Joshua he would seek another opponent if the fight terms had not been agreed by this point.

After his self-imposed deadline passed, Fury confirmed that “no contract has been signed” and that he was “moving on” to another opponent, believed to be Germany’s Mahmoud Charr.

However, Fury took to social media again on Thursday to extend his deadline for the Joshua fight after holding talks with his promoter Frank Warren.

In a video posted to Twitter, Fury said: “Right, Anthony Joshua, where do we start? So the deadline was Monday, Frank Warren asked me and convinced me to let it carry on for another couple of days.

“Today is Thursday, even though I knew you wouldn’t sign this contract I allowed Frank to continue doing meetings with your team, broadcasters and all that; now we have BT Sport, Dazn and ESPN all on the same page. They are happy with everything. They are all ready to rock and roll.

“You guys asked for a lot of stuff. You wanted to be co-promoters when you’re a voluntary challenger, guess what? I said give it to them. Let them be co-promoters.

“You wanted full transparency even though you’re not an equal shareholder in this party. Do you know I said? Give them full transparency. I have got nothing to hide. I’m not trying to rob anybody.

“Now you have got full transparency everything is clean and fair. Now Joshua, the ball really is in your court son. Everything really is done. If you’re a man and have some dignity and pride you’ll get this contract signed today. This is it. There are no more days, weeks, months.

“You have had the contract now for over two weeks and you still haven’t signed it. Show the public that you are really a big coward, that I know you are and don’t sign it. I don’t care either way if you sign it or not, it makes no difference to me at all. You’re a beaten man and I’m a world champion.

“I’m chucking you a major bone but I know I can punch your face in. There is nothing more to do, everyone is happy. Get your team onto mine, they will be available all day, like they have been for the last two weeks. Get this contract signed today, you big p***y.

“Give the British fans what they want. There is no more running, you have to fight me. You cannot escape, the Fury is coming, b***h.”

Earlier this week, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn said there was “no chance” the contracts for the fight would be signed before Fury’s initial deadline.

And after Warren revealed talks were still ongoing, Hearn confirmed all parties were still working to get the deal done.

“There were various positive calls today between promoters and broadcasters who are all working hard to finalise the fight,” said Hearn.

“There has been no talk of a deadline between the parties, but we are moving at pace to try and conclude the deal.”

Mahmoud Charr sent a message to Tyson Fury.

Mahmoud Charr has sensationally accused Tyson Fury of ducking him as he reacts to the latest Anthony Joshua offer. Check it out below:

The proposed all-British showdown between Fury and Joshua could be back ON.

The self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’ has extended his deadline for the contracts to be signed.

But Charr, who has been rumoured to face Fury should he fail to agree terms with Joshua, has hit out at the WBC title holder.

He’s accused the unbeaten fighter of ducking him in a furious message.

Charr, 37, has won 33 of his 37 professional bouts, losing four times. He’s currently on a five-fight win streak, having suffered his last defeat to Mairis Briedis in August 2015.

He hasn’t fought since his victory over Nikola Milacic last May as he looks to clash with Fury for the world heavyweight title.

But Charr could miss out on a shot at world glory if Fury strikes a deal with Joshua, who’s coming off a defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

The door hasn’t completely closed on Fury vs. Joshua.

The 34-year-old claims negotiations are still ongoing despite claiming his rival had missed the deadline.

In a video posted on Twitter, Fury said: “Right, Anthony Joshua, where do we start? So the deadline was Monday, Frank Warren asked me and convinced me to let it carry on for another couple of days.

“Today is Thursday, even though I knew you wouldn’t sign this contract I allowed Frank to continue doing meetings with your team, broadcasters and all that; now we have BT Sport, Dazn and ESPN all on the same page. They are happy with everything. They are all ready to rock and roll.

“You guys asked for a lot of stuff. You wanted to be co-promoters when you’re a voluntary challenger, guess what? I said give it to them. Let them be co-promoters.

“You have had the contract now for over two weeks and you still haven’t signed it. Show the public that you are really a big coward, that I know you are and don’t sign it.

“Give the British fans what they want. There is no more running, you have to fight me. You cannot escape, the Fury is coming, b***h.”

Even KSI waded in.

Andrew Tate is getting absolutely slated online for his latest sparring video.

Fans and pro boxers alike have flocked to the comments section to mock the controversial TikTok star, many people calling the entire thing ‘fake’.

Ever since being de-platform by practically every social media giant, Tate has been relatively quiet.

But every now and then, one of his clips slips through the cracks and lands on our explore pages.

Although his latest one has plenty of people talking – all for the wrong reasons too.

Instagram/cobratate

This time, Tate isn’t being derogatory towards women or even calling out someone to a fight, instead his boxing skills are on display in a sparring video – if you can call it that.

In a clip posted by happypunchpromo on Instagram, the former kickboxing world champion can be seen going toe-to-toe with some bloke inside a ring.

“Andrew Tate knocks down his sparring partner 6 times. How’s he looking?” the caption reads.

But people weren’t buying it and instantly began piling into Tate.

Hasim Rahman Jr commented: “Hot trash.”

As Anthony Taylor hilariously added: “Wearing Airforce shoes and a Durag is not a sparring partner.”

Meanwhile, YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI simply posted multiple laughing emojis.

Even boxing fans didn’t hold back.

One person said: “Clearly the sparring partner doesn’t know shii.”

While another added: “Come on he’s barely touching this guy lol.

As a third commented: “Sparring partner is half his size god damn.”

One bloke asked: “How fake and staged do you want this to be?”

Rumours have continued to swirl surrounding a potential bout between Tate and YouTuber Logan Paul.

Both men have exchanged pleasantries via social media and there’s talks they could finally settle their difference inside the ring.

“Logan Paul is a tool of the matrix,” Tate told Valuetainment last month.

“He is a bought and sold individual with no soul. He doesn’t stand up for anything and he doesn’t mean anything that he says.

“He gets pieces of paper from Susan or whoever telling him what he’s allowed to say on his channel. Not only do I believe that, but he’s proved it himself.

“He will flip flop on any issues he can be bought and sold on. The dude’s a b***h. Logan Paul is a b***h and I will say that publicly. I will fight him for free. The guy is an idiot.”

And while Logan has been equally critical of Tate, it’s his younger brother Jake who has been most vocal.

On an episode of IMPAULSIVE, Logan asked: “Jake, I know he’s been talking s**t about you bro. With your blessing, can I beat the s**t out of Andrew f**king Tate?”

To which Jake replied: “If my brother doesn’t f**k you up, I will. It has to go down.”

Logan went on to add: “I don’t think he gets in the ring with one of us.

“It’s too big of a risk for him. He’s ‘alpha male,’ right? That’s his whole entire thing. And when he loses — he will lose to either one of us he fights — his whole schtick and all the women will be like, ‘Yeah!’ and his whole schtick goes out the window.”
