Mike Tyson was born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York City. He grew up in a low-income neighbourhood and was frequently involved in street fights as a child. However, he was spotted by trainer Cus D'Amato in 1980 and began training with him. Under D'Amato's guidance, Tyson developed his skills and quickly made a name for himself in the boxing world. In his early professional career, “Iron” Mike Tyson won his first 19 fights via knockout, setting a record for the quickest wins in the heavyweight division. More about Mike Tyson
