Mike Tyson faced a roster of heavyweight legends throughout his career, becoming the youngest heavyweight world champion in 1985 and maintaining an unbeaten streak in his first 37 fights. Despite setbacks, including losses to James ‘Buster’ Douglas and Evander Holyfield, Tyson’s legacy remains formidable, punctuated by his recent exhibition match with Roy Jones Jr. in 2022.
Reflecting on potential opponents from any era, Tyson revealed to Boxing Mane his wish to have fought Floyd Mayweather, citing Mayweather’s status as an all-time great and multi-weight champion, albeit in lower weight classes. Tyson expressed admiration for Mayweather and lamented that they were not in the same weight category, underscoring his interest in such a historic matchup.
