Julius Francis vs Mike Tyson
A prime Mike Tyson was one of the most intimidating heavyweights at that time. And many considered it a mark of courage to get into the ring with ‘Iron’ Mike.
Francis faced Tyson at the MEN Arena in Manchester on January 29, 2000. Notably, this was Tyson’s first fight in Europe. Tyson was a bit past his prime. However, he still was the wrecking machine the boxing world knew him to be.
