On September 7, 1996 Tyson knocked out Bruce Seldon in 109 seconds. Many spectators and fans watching the pay-per-view event thought the fight was fixed because few saw Tyson punch Seldon, but Sel-don’s trainer said that his man was so scared that he may have had a nervous breakdown. Seldon would never box again and Tyson had won back one of his championship belts: the WBA.
Unfortunately, sometimes you can’t have fun accomplishing your goals. Sometimes people don’t have the determination, the will, the steadfastness, the tenacity, they give in under the slightest struggle.
TYSON: Well, I was blessed with speed and a good punch. Everybody thinks I’m the hardest puncher ever. But I just think I was really fast, and my punches got to the target faster. That’s what made my knockouts always seem spectacular.
What set Tyson apart from other fighters of his era was how hard he worked. His training regimens were intense. Despite being considerably younger than all of his opponents, Tyson worked just as hard, if not harder than his veteran foes. As a result, he became the youngest heavyweight world champion in history at age 20.

Most recently, Yen starred in Mulan as Commander Tung and was announced to be included in Chad Stahelski’s John Wick: Chapter 4 with Keanu Reeves. He came from a martial arts lineage, as he started learning from a young age from his mother, who is a famed tai chi master.

Months earlier, in July 1991, Washington and Tyson had crossed paths at a rehearsal for the Miss Black America pageant in Indianapolis, Indiana, where Washington was a contestant. The 18-year-old went to Tyson’s room with him, where she says he raped her.
Mike: When I am harassing my kids. Sometimes it might be and sometimes they might grow up and live in this make believe world and I say “Listen, you can’t have a slumber party over here this is not the real world.”
Whatever you want, especially when you’re striving to be the best in the world at something, there’ll always be disappointments, and you can’t be emotionally tied to them, because they’ll break your spirit.
Rarely in the history of any sport has a career that began with so much hype and promise ultimately delivered so little. Mike Tyson the phenomenon was real; between 1986 and 1990, the world stopped on the nights he fought.
Round 2: Mike Tyson threw a nice body shot, and Roy Jones Jr. countered with a nice, crisp, no-look jab that momentarily got Tyson’s attention. There was some extended holding in the middle of the round, and referee Ray Corona didn’t seem to mind one bit as they leaned on each other.

The guy who plays Mike is right up there with Rami Malek (Freddie Mercury) and John Travolta (John Gotti) when it comes to playing a famous person seriously, but it coming off as a ridiculously sounding, stupid looking caricature.

Still, the story is good enough and flows so much better than the voice of a guy with a disingenuous lisp and disturbingly large gold teeth mumbling every word.
