As Britannica says, Tyson was born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York. Tyson led a hard life, resorting to multiple street crimes and breaking the law at every turn. As Heavy explains, Tyson would be arrested multiple times in his youth, being sent to juvenile detention centers to help set him straight. He got interested in boxing at an early age in reform school, where he was discovered by boxing enthusiast Bobby Stewart. He had a 24-3 record as an amateur before turning professional in 1985.
Tyson eventually was trained under Cus D’Amato, and he became a boxing force to be reckoned with. He was the youngest heavyweight champion of all time, a feat accomplished at the age of 20, as Britannica notes. Tyson became a professional boxer in 1985 and reigned as heavyweight king for a long time. It was in 1990, against boxer James Douglas, that Tyson lost his championship.
