Mike Tyson will turn 58 in June, but the former heavyweight boxing champ isn’t done with his in-ring activity. Tyson returns to the ring to face Jake Paul on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Tyson last fought in a competitive bout in 2005, a TKO loss to Kevin McBride. In November 2020, Tyson participated in an eight-round exhibition against Roy Jones Jr., a battle between two hall of famers. That bout ended in a draw.
But go back a few years, or decades, and Tyson was considered as “The Baddest Man on the Planet,” an undisputed heavyweight champion who was one of the most feared fighters in the history of the sport. He still holds the record as the youngest heavyweight champion.
This fight against Paul won’t affect his career or legacy, but to really remember what Tyson was at his prime, here are some of his best fights for your enjoyment.
