In Part Three of our Mike Tyson Career Profile, we cover one of the most pivotal stretches of his life: his first year as a professional fighter.
Bursting onto the scene in 1985, Tyson racked up knockout after knockout, showcasing the devastating speed and power that would make him a global sensation. But behind the highlight reels and rapid ascent, Tyson was also dealing with a profound personal loss—the passing of his legendary mentor and trainer, Cus D’Amato.
