The Fighters: A Tale of Two Generations
Boxing fans of a certain age are certain to quiver when they think of the devastating power of “Iron” Mike Tyson at the height of his career in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. But as we don’t need to remind you, that was a long time ago and Tyson is now 58-years-old.
Tyson, nicknamed "Iron Mike", boasts a 50-6 professional boxing record-including 44 victories by knockout. His last professional fight was a loss to Kevin McBride in 2005, but recently took on Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition at Staple Center in November 2020. The two fought to a draw.
