Mike Tyson

Let’s start the New Year with former heavy-weight boxer Mike Tyson, also known as "The Baddest Man on the Planet".

Tyson is one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. He reigned as the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990.

Tyson was known for his ferocious and intimidating boxing style as well as his controversial behavior inside and outside the ring. Tyson was arrested in July 1991 for the rape of 18-year-old Desiree Washington, Miss Black Rhode Island. While in prison, Tyson converted to Islam and adopted the Muslim name Malik Abdul Aziz.

On May 12, 2020, Tyson posted a video on his Instagram of him training again. At the end of the video, Tyson hinted at a return to boxing by saying, "I'm back".
