Mike Tyson Short Bio: Mike Tyson born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on June 30, 1966, Michael Gerard Tyson has experienced more in his 36 years than most people experience in a lifetime. At an early age, Bobby Stewart, a local social worker and boxing fan, discovered Tyson’s raw boxing ability. Stewart's guidance paved a direct path to the late, beloved trainer of champions, Constantine “Cus” D'Amato.. Mike Tyson's career began amateur boxing, before plunging into professional boxing, after losing a number of amateur boxing qualifiers to the Olympics from Henry Tillman.
Tyson made his debut in the professional ring on March 6, 1985 in Albany, New York. He won in the first round. He then boxed 15 more times in 1985, won all matches by knockout, and almost all of them in the first round. He competed 12 times in 1986, skyrocketed in the rankings of boxers and attract media attention. On November 22, 1986 Tyson was given his first title shot, fighting Trevor Berbick for the WBC heavyweight version. Two rounds later, at age 20, Tyson became the youngest world heavyweight champion of the world.
In a very Tyson-like performance, “Iron Mike” floored “The Black Rhino” with a devastating right hand 49 seconds into round one. Etienne hit the canvas hard and was counted out by referee Bill Clancy of Pittsboro, NC.
