Fight:3158624

The bout was somehow sanctioned by the Texas boxing commission. Tyson, who only months before had almost died from a stomach ulcer and needed 8 blood transfusions to save his life, was sanctioned to fight a 27 year old. Tyson also had a bad knee and hadn’t boxed professionally for 19 years! Both boxers wore 14 ounce gloves and the bout was contested over 8x2 minute rounds. In no way was this a real professional bout, nor should it be counted on Mike Tyson's record.
