Mike Tyson, the fierce boxer of the ring
Mike Tyson, who became a nightmare for his opponents with his combative style in the ring throughout his active career, is considered one of the best boxers in history.
58-year-old Tyson, who has 50 wins and 6 defeats in his career, 44 of which were knockouts, became the “youngest heavyweight champion” by knocking out Trevor Berbick in 1986, when he was 20 years old.
Tyson became the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) titles.
The American boxer, who ended his career in 2005, returned to the ring for an exhibition match in 2020 after 15 years and kept sports fans glued to their screens.
Tyson, the rebel boxer of the ring, made a mark in the minds of sports fans with his match with Evander Holyfield in 1997. Tyson, who bit off Holyfield’s ear in the title match and was disqualified, caused the sports world to witness a moment that it will never forget even after many years.
Tyson, who is known for the turmoil and illegal events in his private life as well as his punches, was described by the British sports channel Sky Sports as “Perhaps the wildest fighter to ever step into the professional ring.”
Jake Paul started boxing in 2018
Jake Paul, who has 20.8 million followers and approximately 7.7 billion views on YouTube, started his boxing career in 2018.
Paul, who stepped into the ring for the first time in an amateur match against Deji Olatunji, who is also a YouTuber and later started boxing, then switched to a professional career.
27-year-old American boxer Paul, who fought 11 professionally, had 10 wins and one loss, 7 of which were by knockout. Among the names Paul fought was Nate Robinson, a former player of the American Basketball League (NBA).
Paul suffered his only defeat against British boxer Tommy Fury in the competition held in Saudi Arabia in February 2023.
