The Rise And Fall Of Mike Tyson
by adminMike Tyson will most likely always be known as one of the greatest boxers who have ever lived. He began his fight in 1986 and quickly rose to fame. Throughout his career, he has had a total of 58 fights. Of those 58 fights, he has won 50 of them. Six of those fights were won by a knockout. Tyson experienced a decline in the 1990s. He experienced a failed marriage and was also convicted of rape in 1992. He returned to the ring in 1995, but he experienced even more problems.
In 1997, he bit a part of his opponent, Evander Holyfield’s ear off. This lead to a further decline in his image. In 2003, his second marriage ended in divorce. In 2005, he announced that he would give up boxing for good because he felt that his heart was no longer in it.
Tyson’s greatest personal tragedy came in the May of 2009. His four year-old daughter named Exodus died after she became tangled in a treadmill. A year later, he announced that he was totally broke and had to live from paycheck to paycheck. Mike Tyson has endured a-lot of falls and tragedies, but he has managed to overcome them all.
