Mike Tyson has worked with several trainers and coaches in his combat career, which includes MMA mastermind Rafael Cordeiro, who honed ‘Iron’ for his returning fight against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020 at the age of 54. However, none seems to have impacted him like the way Cus D’Amato did.

The tales of Tyson’s and D’Amato’s bond go deep down to the time when Tyson was a young man with no goal in his life. Cus picked him up on the stage and turned him into a world heavyweight champion. Mike Tyson has always hailed his veteran trainer for changing his life and continues to do so, even to this day.

Dubbed as ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’, Tyson began his career at the Catskill gym under Cus D’Amato’s guidance. Looking back at those days, the heavyweight elite posted some rare pictures of him at the Catskill gym, sending several of his fans into a frenzy.

In the caption, Mike Tyson wrote, “The 70’s and 80’s training in the Catskills were some of the best times of my life. It was during this period I learned the value of discipline and what it would take to become a champion. On Monday 2/7 I’m dropping a limited edition capsule commemorating the Catskills and my late mentor Cus D’Amato. Only 100 of each piece will be available for purchase.”
