Mike Tyson is perhaps one of the most popular and intimidating boxers. Ever since he fought professionally for the first time back in 1985, he has never looked back and has skyrocketed to the peak of glory and fame. Such was his reputation that when he lost his first fight against Buster Douglas, no one dared to believe the result of the fight.
Interestingly, it seems that years after his retirement, he has managed to earn one more accolade. It was sent by his idol, but its not Muhammad Ali.
