In the sport of boxing, few names evoke the sheer ferocity and dominance quite like Mike Tyson. As a living embodiment of power and precision, ‘Iron Mike’s’ prime was a spectacle to behold. Despite his relatively diminutive stature for a Heavyweight, Tyson’s ability to weave speed and power together made him an unstoppable force, leaving a trail of defeated challengers in his wake.

One of Tyson’s prominent rivals during this era was the Englishman Frank Bruno, affectionately known as the “True Brit.” Like the former champion Bruno, too, was a heavyweight force to be reckoned with, and his clash with Tyson was a tale of aspiration and challenge, a classic narrative of the underdog facing off against the untamed beast.
