Chittorgarh: The most famous boxer of his time. He broke PPV records. He was a controversy’s favorite child. He had one-punch knockout power.
It is from Mike Tyson.
In the early years he dominated the sport in the late 1980s and became the only heavyweight boxer to unify WBA, WBC, and IBF title. Tyson won his first 19 fights with a knockout (12 in the first round).
He suffered a dip in the late 90s and early 20s. And finally left the sport in 2005. But is now set to make a comeback.
The former heavyweight champion will meet four-division champion Roy Jones Jr. in an eight-round exhibition match on Sept. 12 at Dignity Health Sports Park.
The youngest heavyweight champion in history when he won the title in 1986 at age 20 and for a time was the most feared fighter in boxing.
The event will air on pay-per-view and the social media music platform Triller. Further matches on the card and musical entertainment will be announced in the coming weeks.
