Biography
American boxer, undisputed heavyweight champion 6/28/1985 following his first round knockout of previously unbeaten Michael Spinks in Atlantic City, NJ. Elusive, 5' 11", 220 lbs, and devastating in the ring, "Iron Mike" is as close to perfection as a fighter can be. He is estimated to be worth some $50 million.
He and his two older siblings were abandoned by their dad before he was born and his mom died of stomach cancer before he had achieved his success. A mugger and thief by ten, he was sent to school for juvenile delinquents the following year. As a young teen, a counselor changed his life, taking him into his home and teaching him sports.
He married actress Robin Givens in February 1988; they later divorced. On 2/10/1992, he was convicted of raping a Miss Black America contestant on 7/19/1991, and served three years in prison. He was released in late March 1995 and returned to the ring on 8/19/1995 in Las Vegas for a $25 million pro-match.
On 11/08/1996, he fought Holyfield like an enraged animal, biting off a piece of Holyfield's ear during the bout.
He was sentenced to a year back in jail on 2/05/1999 for assaulting two motorists after a mishap last year.
On 1/22/2002, Tyson turned a Las Vegas press conference into a melee when he tangled with rival Lennox Lewis, 36, biting him on the leg. Nevada prosecutors are looking at a charge of rape in September, 2001, an act of brutality that allegedly occurred in his 12,000 sq-ft million-dollar mansion, finding that there is "probable cause." On 1/29/2002, the Nevada Athletic Commission denied his license to fight Lewis in a highly anticipated bout of April 6th. They may consider whether he needs a muzzle; his lack of impulse control is showcasing him as a dangerous man to be around.
Tyson, with fortune that was once estimated at $300 million filed for bankruptcy on August 1, 2003 in New York City. He is facing assault and disorderly conduct charges after being involved in a scuffle in a Brooklyn hotel in June 2003. In early 2007 he checked himself into a rehab center.
His four-year-old daughter Exodus was rushed to a Phoenix, AZ hospital on May 25, 2009 after she was found with her neck caught in a treadmill cord. She was placed on life support but was pronounced dead at 11:45 AM local time.the following day.
