The fight between Tyson and McNeely flashes back to 1995. The duo shared a fiery stare-down just before the fight began, and it was presumed to be an absolute blinder. As expected, the fight began with both of them looking to secure an early knockdown in the fight.

McNeely started off by throwing quick and powerful strikes on ‘Iron’. Tyson didn’t find it tough to defend his punches and was just looking for that one hit.

Capitalizing on his mistake, Tyson landed a huge right hand to put McNeely on the canvas. The latter stood up and started an assault on Tyson yet another time but fell prey to Tyson’s vicious uppercut.

McNeely’s team sensed this as a long night for him and jumped inside the ring to ask the referee for a stoppage. His team wanted to avoid further damage, and that’s how ‘Iron’ added another astonishing victory to his resume.
