Mike Tyson is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. The road to achieving this fame and fortune, however, was a very challenging one. Tyson’s story of rags to riches began when he went to a juvenile detention center. There he met Bobby Stewart, former boxer and juvenile detention center counselor.

From there began Tyson’s incredible boxing career. After Stewart introduced ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson to the legendary Cus D’Amato, the pair became unstoppable. Tyson learned the ropes under D’Amato and entered the professional boxing scene at the age of 18. He went on to become the youngest heavyweight champion in the world.

His rise to fame was explosive, but so was his fall. Tyson has spoken very openly about his struggles in the past and how he came back from them. Tyson is the kind of person that never quits and he shared a quote that he lives by on Twitter. “Adversity makes the strong stronger, and the weak weaker.”

This is one of Mike Tyson’s favorite quotes which appears in his Instagram captions and which he uses on his podcast very often. It is something he lives by and is something that helped him through his hard times.
