Chael Sonnen has come forward and made quite an attention-grabbing statement. He said Jon Jones is capable of taking down Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, both on the same day. For one who knows the sport, it’s quite obvious that boxing and MMA are very different. Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali are by far the greatest heavyweights to put on a pair of gloves and enter a boxing ring. Jones too is for sure will down as one of the greatest UFC fighters ever and probably the best light heavyweight champion ever. But is it fair to compare them? Sonnen thinks it is. Chael Sonnen happened to cross paths with Jon Jones within the octagon back in 2013. He faced the beast and says there is no match. Sonnen faced a brutal first-round defeat at the hands of Jones via TKO. That win was one of 26 [http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/07f72a2a7591b409] for Jones in his illustrious career. jon-jones-thiago-santos-ufc-239-0c [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/jon-jones-thiago-santos-ufc-239-0c.jpg] Making the said statement he said, “For him to pay tribute to Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali earlier was a very nice thing for him to do, but the reality is that Jon Jones could beat Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali in the same day. I don’t think he understands how good he is.” CHAEL SONNEN CLAIMS JON JONES IS THE BEST EVER Speaking about Jones’ insane talent and in-ring abilities [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-ill-literally-pick-you-apart-jon-jones-lashes-out-at-francis-ngannou/] Sonnen said, “When he says he wants to be the best ever, Jon, newsflash buddy, you are the best. As far as tying Tito Ortiz, maybe he had a couple more wins, but he hasn’t had the competition that you’ve faced. I’m not going to try to degrade Jon. He’s a world champion, he’s the best in the weight class and he’s the best the weight class has ever seen.” Jones [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/124_Jon_Jones_x_Alexander_Gustafsson.0.jpg] Chael Sonnen has always been of this opinion. He’s held Jones on a high pedestal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-anythings-possible-dana-white-talks-heavyweight-showdown-between-jon-jones-and-francis-ngannou/] and sees him as the greatest ever to step inside the octagon. Having faced Jon Jones, his words definitely hold more weight. What do you think? Is Jon Jones the best in his weight class? And can he pull of beating Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali in the same day? 

Chael Sonnen makes an outrageous statement in favor of his former opponent Jon
Jones. Claims Jones is the best to ever step into the octagon.

During an <a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/jon-bones-jones-father-wanted-him-to-preach-not-join-ufc.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with The Christian Post</a>, his father revealed that he even discouraged Jon Jones from becoming a fighter.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones has two brothers, Chandler Jones and Arthur Jones, both football players. Jones also had a sister, Carmen Jones, who passed away at the age of 18 due to a brain tumor.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones? wife</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones? is not married. However, many did mistake him and Jessie Moses for being a married couple owing to their long relationship and the fact that they eventually got engaged. Not much is known about Jessie Moses except that she was born on</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> 12 September 1987 to Sheila Ryan. She attended the same high school as Jon Jones, </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Endicott High School in New York. She then went to </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Broome Community College in Binghamton, New York, for her degree in Political Science.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones and Jessie Moses attended Endicott High School in New York together and started dating. And after over a decade of dating, Jones proposed to Moses in Easter 2013 and engaged shortly but never got married. And back in February 2022, Jon Jones publicly announced in a now-deleted tweet that his fianc?e left him soon after his arrest in 2021.?</span>

Carmen Nicole Jones, Olivia Haven Jones, and Leah Jones are the three children Jones shares with his ex-fianc?e, Jessie Moses.

<span style="font-weight: 400">There is no evidence whatsoever of Jon Jones being married.</span>

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-222513" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200204214214/Jon-Jones-with-wife-Jessie-Moses.jpg" alt="" width="1067" height="534" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Back in September 2021, Jon Jones was </span><span style="font-weight: 400">arrested due to a domestic violence case as he reportedly assaulted his </span><span style="font-weight: 400">fianc?e Jessie Moses at the </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Caesars Palace</span><span style="font-weight: 400">. This was reported when the hotel security guard called 911 and it was reported that Jessie Moses was bleeding from the nose and the mouth.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Furthermore, upon being arrested, he was charged with </span><span style="font-weight: 400">misdemeanor battery domestic violence, and injuring or tampering with a vehicle. This was not the first time that Jones has been in trouble with the law, as he has a history of legal issues, including previous arrests for driving under the influence and hit-and-run incidents.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones? brothers</b></h2>
<strong>Who is Jon Jones' brother, Chandler Jones?</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Chandler Jones is a professional football player and the younger brother of Jon Jones. He played college football at Syracuse University before being drafted by the New England Patriots in 2012. He has since played for the Arizona Cardinals and is considered one of the best defensive ends in the NFL.</span>

<strong>Who is Jon Jones' brother, Arthur Jones?</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Arthur Jones is also a professional football player and the older brother of Jon Jones and Chandler Jones. Born on June 3, 1986, in Endicott, New York, Arthur played college football at Syracuse University and was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2010. He has also played for the Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Football Team.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones' brothers, Chandler and Arthur, have had a significant impact on his career. Growing up in a competitive household with two brothers who were already successful athletes, he was constantly motivated to improve his own athletic abilities. Chandler and Arthur have also provided support and guidance throughout Jon's career, helping him to stay focused and grounded.</span>

<strong>Is Chris Jones related to Jon Jones?</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Chris Jones is not related to Jon Jones. Chris Jones is a professional football player who currently plays as a defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs. Although they share the same last name and play the same sport, there is no known familial relationship between the two athletes.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones' MMA career and highlights</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jones was a stand-out wrestler during high school. He even got his moniker, ?Bones? during his school days, owing to his slim frame.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">On August 9, 2008, Jon Jones made his UFC debut at UFC 87 facing <strong>Andre Gusm?o</strong>, at the short notice of two weeks. In over a year and a quarter, Jones placed himself as an undefeated fighter with a perfect record of 9-0, until he fought <strong>Matt Hamil</strong> in December 2009, who handed Jones his first-ever loss.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, that served as the one and only loss ?Bones? has, and that too due to disqualification. Two years later, Jones faced Mauricio ?Shogun? Rua as a replacement for his training partner Rashad Evans who couldn?t fight on the scheduled mark owing to his knee injury. Jones defeated Rua by TKO in 3rd round and became the youngest-ever UFC champion at the age of 23.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, Jon Jones? run in the UFC hasn?t been all glamorous and smooth. He has been suspended several times, given his controversial life outside the octagon. Jones was expected to defend his title in May 2015 against <strong>Anthony Johnson</strong> at UFC 187 but was stripped of his title on April 28 in connection to his hit-and-run case where he allegedly crashed a pregnant woman and fled away from the scene.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Then, in 2016, when his rematch with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-cormier/"><strong>Daniel Cormier</strong></a> was supposed to take place at UFC 200, Jones was removed from the bout by USADA for a potential doping violation and was suspended for one year. Two days after the announcement, Jones was stripped from his interim title, too.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Daniel Cormier rematch took place in 2017 instead, where Jon Jones defeated Cormier and re-captured the UFC Light Heavyweight Title. However, that win was short-lived, as USADA flagged Jones with a doping violation. This forced the decision to be converted to no contest. And as a result, the title was handed back to Daniel Cormier.</span>

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1561575" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Untitled-design-39-1-15.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones then made a return in 2018 against <strong>Alexander Gustafsson</strong> for the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight Championship and won the bout via a 3rd round TKO. And from 2018 to 2020, Jones had his good run in the UFC, having 4 fights and winning all of them, until he got into a disagreement with Dana White in 2020.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">After a disagreement with White, Jon Jones vacated the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship and expressed his desire to move up to the heavyweight division and fight Francis Ngannou. However, according to Dana White, Jones asked for a sum on par with what <strong>Deontay Wilder</strong> made for his rematch with <strong>Tyson Fury</strong>, suggesting a paycheck of around $25 million-$30 million. After all the back and forth and a hiatus of over 3 years, Jon Jones made his heavyweight debut at UFC 285 against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ciryl-gane/"><strong>Ciryl Gane</strong></a> for the vacant title.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones? record and stats</b></h2>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Grappling Record: 5-0</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones' fighting style</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jones is one of the best at range management. He hand-fights with his opponents and measures the distance. Although this technique is effective, he often ends up poking his opponents in the eye.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He is incredibly slick and difficult to counter. Very few opponents have caught him clean. Overall, he is a well-rounded fighter with very few holes in his game.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones endorsements</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jones had a number of deals with major brands such as Reebok, Nike, GAT Supplements, Monster Energy, and Gatorade.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Reebok terminated the deal with ?Bones? after his hit-and-run case. Similarly, </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Nike?s deal has been officially terminated after Jones? brawl with Daniel Cormier. However, Jones maintained that Nike didn?t drop him. In fact, they wanted to keep him on board for the remainder of the contract but it was his decision to discontinue, and hence, he respectfully declined the deal.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones' cars and houses</b></h2>

</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones controversies</b></h2>
<strong>Eye pokes:</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones, a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, has been involved in several controversies throughout his career. One of the main criticisms against him is his frequent eye pokes during fights. This is a dangerous move that can cause severe injury to his opponents, and many fans and fighters have called for him to be penalized for this behavior.</span>

<strong>Daniel Cormier altercation:</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2014, Jones got into a physical altercation with his rival Daniel Cormier during a press conference. The two fighters engaged in a shoving match, which escalated into a full-blown brawl. This incident caused widespread condemnation from fans and the UFC, with both fighters facing disciplinary action.</span>

<strong>Hit-and-run conviction:</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2015, Jones was involved in a hit-and-run accident in which he ran a red light and collided with another car, injuring a pregnant woman. He fled the scene of the accident, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Jones eventually turned himself in and pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, resulting in the revocation of his driver's license and community service. He was charged with felony hit and run and sentenced to 18 months probation. The incident also resulted in the loss of Jones' UFC title and a suspension from the organization</span>

<strong>Domestic violence arrest:</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2020, Jones was arrested on charges of domestic violence and tampering with a vehicle in Las Vegas. He was accused of hitting his girlfriend and damaging her car during an argument. Jones denied the charges, but the incident raised concerns about his behavior outside of the octagon.</span>

<strong>Other legal troubles:</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In addition to these controversies, Jones has faced other legal troubles, including drug-related offenses and a suspension from the UFC for violating the organization's anti-doping policy. Despite these issues, Jones remains one of the most talented fighters in UFC history, but his controversies have marred his legacy and raised questions about his character.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones' charity</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">'Bones' Jones had raised money for The Pediatric Cancer Foundation. Moreover, he has also tried to lend a helping hand to homeless people by distributing essential items like clothes. Furthermore, he also announced a donation of $100,000 to the first light heavyweight to win six championships in a row.</span>

Furthermore, upon being arrested, he was charged with misdemeanor battery domestic violence, and injuring or tampering with a vehicle. This was not the first time that Jones has been in trouble with the law, as he has a history of legal issues, including previous arrests for driving under the influence and hit-and-run incidents. Jon Jones? brothers Who is Jon Jones&#8217; brother, Chandler Jones? Chandler Jones is a professional football player and the younger brother of Jon Jones. He played college football at Syracuse University before being drafted by the New England Patriots in 2012.

Born on June 3, 1986, in Endicott, New York, Arthur played college football at Syracuse University and was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2010. He has also played for the Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Football Team. Jon Jones&#8217; brothers, Chandler and Arthur, have had a significant impact on his career. Growing up in a competitive household with two brothers who were already successful athletes, he was constantly motivated to improve his own athletic abilities. Chandler and Arthur have also provided support and guidance throughout Jon&#8217;s career, helping him to stay focused and grounded. Is Chris Jones related to Jon Jones? Chris Jones is not related to Jon Jones. Chris Jones is a professional football player who currently plays as a defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs. Although they share the same last name and play the same sport, there is no known familial relationship between the two athletes. Jon Jones&#8217; MMA career and highlights Jones was a stand-out wrestler during high school. He even got his moniker, ?Bones? during his school days, owing to his slim frame.? On August 9, 2008, Jon Jones made his UFC debut at UFC 87 facing Andre Gusm?o, at the short notice of two weeks. In over a year and a quarter, Jones placed himself as an undefeated fighter with a perfect record of 9-0, until he fought Matt Hamil in December 2009, who handed Jones his first-ever loss.? However, that served as the one and only loss ?Bones? has, and that too due to disqualification. Two years later, Jones faced Mauricio ?Shogun? Rua as a replacement for his training partner Rashad Evans who couldn?t fight on the scheduled mark owing to his knee injury. Jones defeated Rua by TKO in 3rd round and became the youngest-ever UFC champion at the age of 23. However, Jon Jones? run in the UFC hasn?t been all glamorous and smooth. He has been suspended several times, given his controversial life outside the octagon. Jones was expected to defend his title in May 2015 against Anthony Johnson at UFC 187 but was stripped of his title on April 28 in connection to his hit-and-run case where he allegedly crashed a pregnant woman and fled away from the scene.? Then, in 2016, when his rematch with Daniel Cormier was supposed to take place at UFC 200, Jones was removed from the bout by USADA for a potential doping violation and was suspended for one year. Two days after the announcement, Jones was stripped from his interim title, too. The Daniel Cormier rematch took place in 2017 instead, where Jon Jones defeated Cormier and re-captured the UFC Light Heavyweight Title. However, that win was short-lived, as USADA flagged Jones with a doping violation. This forced the decision to be converted to no contest. And as a result, the title was handed back to Daniel Cormier. Jon Jones then made a return in 2018 against Alexander Gustafsson for the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight Championship and won the bout via a 3rd round TKO. And from 2018 to 2020, Jones had his good run in the UFC, having 4 fights and winning all of them, until he got into a disagreement with Dana White in 2020. After a disagreement with White, Jon Jones vacated the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship and expressed his desire to move up to the heavyweight division and fight Francis Ngannou. However, according to Dana White, Jones asked for a sum on par with what Deontay Wilder made for his rematch with Tyson Fury, suggesting a paycheck of around $25 million-$30 million. After all the back and forth and a hiatus of over 3 years, Jon Jones made his heavyweight debut at UFC 285 against Ciryl Gane for the vacant title.

Jon Jones controversies Eye pokes: Jon Jones, a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, has been involved in several controversies throughout his career. One of the main criticisms against him is his frequent eye pokes during fights. This is a dangerous move that can cause severe injury to his opponents, and many fans and fighters have called for him to be penalized for this behavior. Daniel Cormier altercation: In 2014, Jones got into a physical altercation with his rival Daniel Cormier during a press conference. The two fighters engaged in a shoving match, which escalated into a full-blown brawl. This incident caused widespread condemnation from fans and the UFC, with both fighters facing disciplinary action. Hit-and-run conviction: In 2015, Jones was involved in a hit-and-run accident in which he ran a red light and collided with another car, injuring a pregnant woman. He fled the scene of the accident, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Jones eventually turned himself in and pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, resulting in the revocation of his driver&#8217;s license and community service. He was charged with felony hit and run and sentenced to 18 months probation. The incident also resulted in the loss of Jones&#8217; UFC title and a suspension from the organization Domestic violence arrest: In 2020, Jones was arrested on charges of domestic violence and tampering with a vehicle in Las Vegas. He was accused of hitting his girlfriend and damaging her car during an argument. Jones denied the charges, but the incident raised concerns about his behavior outside of the octagon. Other legal troubles: In addition to these controversies, Jones has faced other legal troubles, including drug-related offenses and a suspension from the UFC for violating the organization&#8217;s anti-doping policy. Despite these issues, Jones remains one of the most talented fighters in UFC history, but his controversies have marred his legacy and raised questions about his character.

<h1 style="text-align: center"><strong>Mike Tyson's Net Worth, career, and family</strong></h1>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Mike Tyson's net worth in 2024</strong></h2>
At his peak, Mike Tyson was one of the wealthiest boxers on the planet. But over time, he lost most of his wealth owing to a lavish lifestyle. Reportedly, he had only $146,000 when he joined WrestleMania 14, post the 'Bite Fight' suspension. According to <strong>Celebrity Net Worth,</strong> Mike Tyson's net worth is $10 million. This could be ascribed primarily to the 2020 'Lockdown Knockdown' against Roy Jones Jr.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2132425" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1034387415h.jpg" alt="Mike Tyson" />

From winning his first world title, the WBC heavyweight, to his retirement, 'Iron' Mike received some of the biggest paychecks of the day. Tyson received $1.5 million during the Trevor Berbick fight. In the 90s, it went to double digits. He reportedly earned $30 million during the war against Frank Bruno and the two battles against Evander Holyfield. However, the biggest paycheck he earned was during the Lennox Lewis fight. It reportedly fetched him $103 million.

So if all the fight money Mike Tyson made during his time is summed, it goes to around $400 million. But boxing has not been the only source of income for the former world champion. Given his name and the weight it carries worldwide, an array of brands tied up with the legendary boxer to endorse their products, services, and sponsorships throughout his career. His most recent sponsors include Black Energy Drink, CopperGel, and Smart Cups.

Additionally, his merchandise is operated from his ranch, aptly named 'Tyson Ranch.' Tyson has even started his cannabis empire called Tyson 2.0, with its slogan, 'Undisputed Cannabis.' One of the unique products from the company is a cannabis-based gummy line, 'Mike Bites.' These gummies, shaped like Holyfield's ear, marked his partnership with the former opponent, Evander Holyfield.?

Tyson and Holyfield's joint venture is called 'Carma Holdings.' Last year they launched another line of products called 'Holy Bites.' Tyson 2.0 also saw the champ partnering with former WWE star Ric Flair. The company also acquired a majority stake in Flair's 'Ric Flair Drip' line. The entire cannabis venture reportedly earns him $900k per month. A two-hour personal appearance of Mike Tyson could come somewhere in the neighborhood of $75k. Tyson's earnings from podcasts such as 'Hotboxin' With Mike Tyson' remain non-verifiable.

<span style="font-weight: 400">In recent times, the former heavyweight champion has significantly expanded his portfolio by acquiring more sponsorships and brand deals. Among them, Tyson Pro offers a line of performance apparel. Following suit, the MT Collection presents official Mike Tyson merchandise. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Additionally, Tyson has partnered with Men's Remedy, which provides expert-backed testosterone treatment. He is also in collaboration with Zumiez, a lifestyle fashion brand. Finally, Futurola provides premium smoking accessories like Pre-rolls and cones.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's early life</h2>
Mike Tyson was born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York's Fort Greene. He had two other siblings, both older, Rodney and Denise. Later, through his mother's second marriage to Jimmy Kirkpatrick, he had a half-brother as well, Jimmie Lee Kirkpatrick.

The crime-prone Brooklyn neighborhood was not the ideal place for a kid to grow up. However, with no alternatives, Tyson, his mother, and his siblings went through everyday survival. The future world champion, over a while, built a reputation as a street fighter.

Turning to gang-related activities, reportedly, by the time he turned thirteen, local police arrested him over thirty-eight times! A frequent visitor to juvenile correctional facilities, Tyson's life changed when he landed at Tryon School for Boys in Johnstown, New York.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's family life</h2>
Mike Tyson's mother, Lorna Smith, was born in 1927. She had three kids with Purcell Tyson, a cab driver of Jamaican origin. Later, she married Jimmy Kirkpatrick and had another child. Kirkpatrick left the family, leaving Lorna Smith and the children to fend for themselves. They changed places frequently on account of financial difficulties. She suffered from cancer and died in 1982 at age fifty-five.

The troubled childhood had an impact on Iron Mike's relationships. The thrice-married former world champion's first marriage to actress Robin Givens barely lasted a year, from February 7, 1988, to February 14, 1989. After that, she filed for divorce, reportedly on the grounds of domestic violence and abuse at the hands of Tyson.

The second marriage to pediatrician Monica Turner lasted six years, from April 19, 1997, to January 14, 2003. Their relationship collapsed because of frequent adultery committed by the boxing legend. Nevertheless, they had two kids together. On June 6, 2009, Tyson married for the third time. Tyson and Lakhia "Kiki" Spicer are now proud parents to two kids.

Mike Tyson fathered three more kids through relations with other women. But sadly, on May 26, 2009, his daughter, Exodus Tyson, passed away. Among Tyson's kids, his daughter Milan seems to have picked her father's propensity for sports. Taking up the tennis racket at an early age, she is under the wings of Patrick Mouratoglou, Serena Williams' former trainer.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's ex-girlfriends and wives</h2>
Apart from his current spouse, Lakhia Spicer, and two formers, Robin Givens and Monica Turner, Mike Tyson reportedly had relationships with other women. Among the many names whose link-up with 'Iron' Mike grabbed headlines, the most prominent include Luz Whitney, Coco Johnsen, and Naomi Campbell. Besides the above, his affair with Kimberly Scarborough resulted in his first child, Mikey Lorna Tyson. In addition, he? had two kids, Miguel and Exodus, with Sol Xochitl when they were in a relationship from 2004 to 2005.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>How did Mike Tyson lose his daughter?</strong></h2>
Tyson's daughter Exodus passed away on May 26, 2009. Reportedly, she was found motionless by her brother Miguel on May 25. He found her entwined in a chord swinging from a treadmill. Despite their mother administering CPR and subsequent hospitalization, Exodus passed away the next day.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's early boxing career</h2>
Mike Tyson's fate turned for good at the Tryon School for Boys. One of the counselors, Bobby Stewart, saw an excellent boxing prospect in the young teenager from the hoods. So he took him to legendary trainer Cus D'Amato, who, recognizing the youngster's talents, brought matters to the next level by adopting him.

The duo soon started working on some of the unique techniques developed by the trainer who previously worked with Floyd Patterson. Mike Tyson made his first amateur debut at age fifteen. Participating in the National Junior Olympics games, he won gold medals for two consecutive years, 1981 and 1982. He won the gold medal at the National Golden Gloves tournament in 1984.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's professional career</h2>
Mike Tyson was now ready to face the world. Launching his professional career on March 6, 1985, he beat Hector Mercedes with a first-round technical KO. Eighteen months later, on November 22, 1986, Tyson won his first world title, WBC heavyweight. He became the youngest heavyweight champion in the sport's history at age twenty. By this time, he had fought and defeated twenty-seven fighters. Out of which, barring one, the rest all were knockout victories.

Sadly, Cus D'Amato was not present to see his prodigy's achievement. The legendary trainer succumbed to pneumonia on November 4, 1985. Mike Tyson won the WBA heavyweight title in 1987 and became the world's undisputed champion. Then, on August 1, 1987, he added the IBF heavyweight belt to the list.

On January 22, 1988, while defending his titles, 'Iron' Mike fought former heavyweight champion, Larry Holmes. The latter had beaten Muhammad Ali on October 2, 1980. Hence, when the turn came, many reported on Mike Tyson avenging his boxing idol. The fight ended with a fourth-round knockout win for the twenty-one-year-old world champion.

Two years later, fortune changed hands as Mike Tyson faced his first defeat. On February 11, 1990, Buster Douglas knocked out 'The Baddest Man on the Planet' in the tenth round. Though he went on to win the next eight fights and even regained the WBC and WBA titles, the clock was ticking against him. Then, on November 9, 1996, Mike Tyson suffered his second defeat. Evander Holyfield beat him via TKO in the eleventh round. But it was the second fight that entered the pages of infamy.

The duo met for their rematch on June 28, 1997. But the slugfest turned ugly when Tyson bit parts of Holyfield's right ear. Initially allowed to continue, the referee finally stopped the fight and disqualified Tyson. "The Bite Fight" resulted in the Nevada State Athletic Commission revoking Tyson's boxing license besides imposing a $3 million fine.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1670407" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0001377755h.jpg" alt="Mike Tyson vs Evander Holyfield" />

'Iron' Mike finally returned to the ring on January 16, 1999. After that, he won a slew of matches. However, his last and final attempt at regaining the championship title ended disastrously. On June 8, 2002, Briton Lennox Lewis sent Tyson to the canvas in the eighth round, dashing the latter's last charge. On February 22, 2003, Mike Tyson won for the last time against Clifford Etienne. For the next two years, he lost two fights consecutively, the second being the last fight of his career. The former champion formally retired in 2005.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's boxing style</h2>
A close study of Mike Tyson's moves, hand movements, and ring strategy would reveal him to be essentially a swarmer. Swarmers, for the uninitiated, are boxers who bear down on an opponent, all the while throwing a volley of punches, including uppercuts and hooks. The only drawback is that the move entails going through foes' vicious attacks to stage a successful onslaught.

Apart from 'Iron Mike,' a few other notable swarmers included Joe Frazier, Rocky Marciano, and Jake LaMotta. In Tyson's case, Cus D'Amato taught a technique that became the former's signature style to escape the barrage of punches thrown at him. Through 'Peek-A-Boo,' a boxer kills two birds with one stone. First, he creates a potent defense by raising his hands. Next, constant bobbing lets him slip the opponent's punches and cover the distance. Finally, once inside, at a reasonable time, place a counter-attack. Thus, once inside, Mike Tyson would draw power from the leg he leaned to pull and throw a devastating knockout punch.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Mike Tyson's foray into coaching</strong></h2>
2023 marked Mike Tyson's coaching debut. The youngest heavyweight champion of the world guided the former UFC heavyweight champion <strong>Francis Ngannou</strong> as the latter transitioned into boxing. And it turned out to be a huge success as Ngannou put on a stellar performance against the current WBC heavyweight champion of the world <strong>Tyson Fury</strong> on <strong>October 28, 2023, </strong>billed <strong>"The Battle of the Baddest".</strong> The Cameroonian shocked the world by knocking down Tyson Fury in the third round, and going the distance with the 'Gypsy King'. Although Ngannou lost on the judges' scorecard by a controversial split decision, the fans lauded his boxing skills honed under Mike Tyson's mentorship.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's extraordinary spending</h2>
By his admission, Mike Tyson lived a king-size lifestyle. The youngest heavyweight champion in boxing's history would make a habit of splurging money. Expensive homes, cars, and exotic animals were a few of the items that fancied 'Iron' Mike.

His $4 million Connecticut mansion had a nightclub and a casino! Not done, he purchased properties in Nevada, California, and Ohio. Most of the acquisitions came fully furnished. And at some, the champion added whatever he fancied.

The above is just a glimpse of the kind of life Mike Tyson lived. There are instances like purchasing a bathtub worth $2 million for his wife. Generous to a fault, he would dish out lavish gifts to friends and strangers. But as all good things and time come to an end, Tyson's spending spree fizzled out by the century's first decade. Per rough estimates, he owed lenders nearly $23 million.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Mike Tyson's acting career</strong></h2>
Mike Tyson has had an on-off relationship with Tinseltown. Initially, he kicked off with cameo roles, often playing himself. For instance, the 2006 release,<strong> 'Rocky Balboa.'</strong> But his major acting breakthrough came with the 2009 release, 'The Hangover.' He was present in the sequel as well. Other movies with Tyson playing key roles include <strong>'Kickboxer: Retaliation,'</strong> '<strong>The Devil May Care,</strong>' and <strong>'IP Man 3.</strong>' Last year he also featured in the French action comedy film <strong>'Medellin'</strong>.
<h2 style="text-align: center">When did Mike Tyson go to jail?</h2>
While living in the hood, Tyson had been a state guest numerous times. But he served a significant prison sentence when the court found him guilty of assaulting model Desiree Washington in 1992. Initially sentenced to six years' incarceration, he came out, just short of the three years, in 1995.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Where does Mike Tyson live now?</h2>
The former world champion currently resides with his family in Henderson, Nevada. It is situated roughly sixteen miles southeast of 'Sin City,' Las Vegas.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's car collection and luxuries in 2024</h2>
Tyson owned nearly a hundred vehicles, many of which were high-end and pricey pieces. In 1985, he shelled out $30k to buy his first car, a Cadillac Eldorado. After that, he made a habit of gifting himself a Rolls Royce whenever the occasion arose. Then his close friend, rapper Tupac Shakur inspired him to look closely at Mercedes models. As a result, in 1989, he bought a Mercedes Benz SL Class with a price tag of $48k.

Among other models, 'Iron' Mike used to own a Ferrari 456 GT Spyder, a Lamborghini Super Diablo worth $500k, a Jaguar XJ220, a Cadillac Escalade, and a Hummer. Also, he was a proud owner of a Bentley Continental SC that made his wallet light by $720k. Then, there is the story of him purchasing twenty cars from one car dealer. Reportedly, he took five Bentley Azures from this store, costing nearly $1.5 million! Unfortunately, only a little is known about Mike Tyson's current car collection.

All you need to know about Mike Tyson's Tigers and Pigeons
In the 1990s, Tyson brought home three white Royal Bengal Tigers, each costing $70k. Named Kenya, Storm, and Boris, he had an exclusive accommodation facility for the big cats with a caretaker who charged a whooping $125k per annum. At the time of filing for bankruptcy, Tyson still had to pay roughly $8,100 towards their upkeep.

A known pigeon fancier, his love for the birds began in Brooklyn when he was eight or nine. There's a famous legend about Tyson knocking down a guy who killed one of his pigeons. He reportedly broke off from a relationship when he learned about the lady's views on his pigeons! Even today, he pursues the hobby and has over a thousand pigeons.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Movies based on Mike Tyson's life</h2>
For a living legend who has been through some of the steepest ups and downs, it is evident that biopics, both watered-down versions and close to real ones, would appear sooner or later. Then, in 1995, came Uli Edel directed 'Tyson.' Taken from the book Fire and Fear: The Inside Story of Iron Mike Tyson by Jose Torres, actor Michael Jai White played the lead role of Mike Tyson. George C Scott played Cus D'Amato while Paul Winfield Don King.

In 2022, Hulu released the series 'Tyson' based on the former champion's life. The eight-episode series has Trevante Rhodes acting as Mike Tyson. Of course, there have been other productions. But most restricted themselves to a docu-drama format. For instance, Barabara Kopple's 'Fallen Champ: The Untold Story of Mike Tyson,' the 2008 release James Toback's 'Tyson,' and the 2021 release 'Mike Tyson: The Knockout.'
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's comeback</h2>
On November 28, 2020, Mike Tyson staged a comeback of sorts. At the Staples Center in Los Angeles, he faced another legend Roy Jones Jr. The fight ended in a draw, though per Compubox, Tyson managed to land a more significant number of punches. The pay-per-view subscriptions crossed $80 million, more than initially expected.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Mike Tyson's relationship with Muhammad Ali</h2>
Mike Tyson idolized Muhammad Ali. He grew up watching his hero fight some of the era's biggest names. But still, despite his close bonds with 'The Greatest,' Iron Mike never wanted to be like him. Instead, he always found himself resembling the likes of Sonny Liston or Jack Dempsey. Tyson was inconsolable when Ali lost the fight against Larry Holmes on October 2, 1980, at Caesars Palace. He reportedly avenged his hero's defeat eight years later.
