Mike Tyson Signed Photo The Youngest Champ With COA
Magnificent 20×16 colour print of a 20-year-old Mike Tyson beating Trevor Berbick to become the youngest ever heavyweight champion of the world – signed by Tyson himself! The most revered, feared and infamous fighters of his or any other generation,’Iron Mike’ Tyson remains the youngest man in boxing history to win the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles as he became undisputed world champion in the late 1980s. Tyson made his professional debut in 1985 in New York, knocking out Hector Mercedes in the first round, and earned himself a burgeoning reputation for his brutal, explosive style with 18 further victories by knockout. The following year he was handed his first world title fight against Trevor Berbick, the reigning WBC champion. The bout lasted less than two rounds when Tyson was handed victory by a TKO and at the age of 20 years and four months, he was the youngster ever heavyweight world champion. Tyson unified the heavyweight division with defeats of James Smith for the WBA belt and Tony Tucker, to claim the IBF title and by the end of 1987, he was the undisputed heavyweight champion. The first professional defeat of his career came in 1990 in one of sport’s greatest ever upsets when he was knocked out by no-hoper James’Buster’ Douglas in the 10th round of their fight in Tokyo and it was to be six years before he held a world title again after defeating Frank Bruno. The latter years of his career were mired in controversy, most notoriously when he was disqualified for biting Evander Holyfield’s ear in 1997 and his last big bout came in 2002 when he faced Lennox Lewis in Memphis but was knocked out in the eighth round by a right hook. But despite his well-documented problems, Tyson remains one of boxing’s all-time greats and the sport has yet to produce another fighter with his raw aggression, speed, power and ability to grab the public’s attention.
