Born in 1966 in New York City, Tyson’s journey to the top was steeped in adversity. After a troubled youth marked by crime and personal loss, he found salvation in boxing, propelled by his trainer and legal guardian, Cus D’Amato. By 20, Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history, but his career was also marred by infamous incidents, including a disqualification for biting an opponent’s ear and a conviction for 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault.
