This man during his lifetime became a legend of both world boxing and show business. The name Mike Tyson is associated with power, pressure and victories. For his sporting achievements, he has been awarded many awards and titles.
Mike was born on June 30, 1966 in Brooklyn. He did not know his own father, his mother and her second husband raised Tyson. As the boxer later wrote in his memoir The Undisputed Truth, his mother was an alcoholic and often beat him. From the age of seven, Mike began to run away from home and tasted all the “charms” of street life: alcohol, drugs, early sexual intercourse, crimes.
Repeatedly, the teenager was in a correctional colony. There he met the legendary Mohammed Ali. Mike decided to become a boxer and succeeded. In March 1985, the young man first entered the ring, and by his half-century anniversary reached all possible heights in boxing, including the title of absolute world champion. In his book, Tyson said that almost all fights he was high, and not to be caught in doping, resorted to various tricks.
In parallel with sports, Mike Tyson’s acting career is also developing. He first appeared in the series Webster (1983-1989). Since then, the boxer has taken part in the filming of three dozen films, including
Bachelor party in Vegas » (2009), "A Very Scary Movie 5" (2013),
A Week in London (2016). In most of the films, Mike played himself.
The personal life of an athlete is far from perfect. He is married for the third time and the father of eight children. Tyson does not hide that he has serious problems with alcohol and drugs. He was tried three times and even served a three-year prison sentence for rape.
