for a scary moment in boxing history than mike tyson he was a great american success story a street kid who fought his way out of poverty to astounding fame and fortune an ominous sense of dread fear was a lot of tyson's weaponry the fighters came in almost frozen he comes naked with his shoes on he's a gladiator he signifies what he's about mike tyson's opponents come in with a great psychological disadvantage guys come into the ring and they are scared black shoes no socks black trunks as soon as you stepped in the ring the other guy across the ring what were you thinking i mean because he was thinking oh that's my ass this has the anticipation of a doberman who's having to brought 210 pounds of unguarded meat i i did them even to challenge me in these fighters and i mean i mean with their primitive boxing skills you know i mean they're as good as dead it was a persona he was trained to adopt where have i been okay with country i've never had experience being captivating spending that seven years with custody motto he's the one so many sides don't mean anything but it was a discrimination factor he said intimidation is the most um magnanimous factor in life one national junior olympic boxing championships fifteen-year-old mike tyson [Applause] bombs away jimmy let's watch this carefully because tyson in the blue is a bomber he's trained by cut no other than dusty yamato oh and there it's all over that tyson is coached by motto has lord patterson and jesse torres two world champions i remember one day we were in the house we're robbing somebody's house and my friend who thinks he's a professional he tried to lock the door but the guy came open the door and blew his brains out i'm from that world by age 10 mike had been abandoned by his father and lived mostly on the streets mike tyson beat up a boy who stole his pigeon when he was nine by 11 he was fighting for money everybody would bring other kids from different neighborhoods around to fight me for money i was really like listen i'm not showing off a prank i was just really a good fighter engaging in constant criminal activity he was arrested 38 times by the age of 13. i have been through some real hard times and to get through them i believe that there was something out there like someone had a plan for me i got introduced to a gentleman by the name of bobby stu and he started teaching me how to box because i thought it was a tough guy stewart then brought tyson to a gym above the police station in catskill new york mike tyson came to me as a result of an interest taken in him by a fellow named bobby stewart now he was 13 and a half years old i believe this old italian guy that would be my mentor eventually the name was custody amato do you remember cuz d'amato the man who managed floyd patterson's heavyweight was revered as an all-time great boxing trainer as fate would have it he just happened to be in proximity to perhaps the most talented gifted fighter to ever exist and now his seasoned eye for talent has spotted a fresh up-and-coming young heavyweight named mike tyson he taught mike from the age of 13 to the age of 19 how to control his emotions husty amato immediately saw tyson's potential mind is not on your way your mind is not in your way it's something distracting you he was my father he was my father and there's not enough i could tell you he loved me i loved him [Applause] [Applause] and suddenly from nowhere all of the power i told you about trained by customarto d'amato says this young man is my reason for still living i care about him he is in fact my son that's the way i know him it was a great boxing trainer gusta mata who finally turned mike's life around took him under his wing and re-channeled mike's energies in the boxing diamato immediately went to work preparing him to be a champion when you get hit that's when you got to be calmness that's when you got to be calm when you get hit a professional fighter has got to learn how to hit and not get hit at the same time be excited tyson channeled the rage of the impoverished and abused was angry you know i was just a little kid [Applause] i was still bitter i wanted to make people pay being part of customato's family was therapeutic he gave him direction he gave him order it gave him care loving tyson's teens were spent in the dematto family cass eventually adopted him he weren't here i probably wouldn't be alive today the fact that he is here and doing what he's doing and doing as well as him as he's doing and improving as he has gives me the motivation and interest to stay alive and from the beginning i met him he always talked to me like i would never talk to you like a child he said this is what we're going to do we're going to beat all these guys we're going to win this championship and i didn't even have an amateur fight yet and he told me all these things met me i'm a little kid so you'll be the world champ you get emotional when you talk about cuss i didn't know i was the one well you were a specimen tyson when i first had him he was 190 pounds nothing but muscle 12 years old his anger cloaked him in a shroud of intimidation i'm only 12 or 13. can i take my title you're the champ fight smart i like a tiger brown i was amongst me oh man [Applause] and it was two years in a row that i took him with and he won him by first round knockouts in every fight hey cars eight second knockout the first round eight second knockout let's go home the help that cuss gave mike was not only in the ring but out of the way and even though i had a mother and family that was my first encounter with love yes and so you were the sunny never had and i feed the fires it becomes a roaring blaze and then when it comes to roaring blaze i pour huge logs on then you really got a fire there that's what i told these boys [Music] did you live there at a southwest yeah for housing before um from 14 to 19 until he died [Music] he's given a key the general's coming in hurricane he had maybe a dozen fights in the junior olympics championship and he knocked out every fighter he fought to win the national championship fly come on [Music] you know and it's like wow mike tyson you're mike tyson aren't you got the physique he's strong you know he's awesome-looking but he's a kid in a man's body everyone wanted a piece of the champion destroyer from the west see everything um told me i believed it because i achieved it mike skipped the olympics and opted to turn pro as soon as possible the professional debut of mike tyson in the white trunks this kid with a butcher block body just beating the majatas out of people in a wham bam thank you man fashion a pretty impressive professional debut he did not disappoint you just wonder how much of a tight schedule customardo and jimmy jacobs his two managers are gonna throw at him jim jacobs and bill caton were the management behind tyson's early career jim jacobs and customarto were very very close friends and he served as another strong father figure for tyson to confide in when i leave he not only will know how to fight he will not only understand many things but he'll also be able to take care of himself because i have good friends like jim jacobs and bill kate who are thoroughly and completely honest jacobs also regards himself as mike tyson's best friend jacobs had a very good relationship with tyson it was like a big brother little brother bill and i both feel that mike tyson is definitely going to be the heavyweight champion of the world the real question is when well we saw mike tyson's professional debut hard to believe this just about a month ago round one but we didn't get much of a chance to see tyson and already in what seconds singleton touches down storming his way through one pro after another dango singleton again this time this boy is tough just a perpetual motion machine so far this isn't gonna go too long we're already in round one the referee humanely has seen enough tyson shrugs almost as if disappointed that the fight is over so quickly and when he turned professional in early 1985 he wanted to get him into the arena back to the gym if you let him run wild he's going to get in trouble think that in a way mike tyson is an american pit bull uh and that he was trained you know to be a killer in the rain because you know he can't hit you back so you can throw the bomb with all the power you can generate [Music] mike insisted on knocking out at least one sparring partner a week gus used to say that don't knock everybody out because you wouldn't have nobody to spar with jacobs and cuss had an ambitious plan for young tyson he was just an amazing man and once i met him and i i was getting in trouble but once i met this guy my whole life has changed you know what do you mean like this yeah i thought it was only when you go over here they recognized the need to keep mike busy so tyson fought almost monthly that's his trainer kevin rooney who was a pretty decent welterweight in his day five foot ten he is not a big heavyweight he's only a kid mentor and father figure customardo has been raising him in the fistic arts tyson was he was like a sponge he just absorbed everything that cuss had to teach him his marauding style coupled with blistering speed and head movement seemed unstoppable head movement with bad intentions take your eyes off the ring card girl watch the fight we've had a good first round between mike tyson his third pro opponent doesn't help him he definitely was hurt there looks apprehensively at tyson it's like good right hand help him down early in the fourth can tyson finish this i think so and shelting little left foot that shook helping down to his heels he's quickly developed a reputation for first round knockout did you ever stop and think like man how lucky am i that i ran into that man no no he said he summons me he summoned you whoa he summoned you because if you take a boy and you're teaching how to fight from beginning to end part of you is in him too so that when he fights part of you is in that ring from catskill new york he is undefeated in three professional bouts all victories all knockouts ladies and gentlemen a big hand for mike tyson [Music] this horrific storming destroyer just comment after your soul your soul is mine like a steam hammer boy that was fast boy that was hard for 220 pounds but moved like a 160 pound guy oh left back the legs have gone this is all over yes it is i don't believe it that's that's well inside a minute tyson absolutely destroyed him there kevin rooney rounded out team tyson i mean i remember cuz showing him how to fold the uppercut with the proper snap and mike would come right over here in the mirror and just practice it for like round after round together with cuss they molded tyson into a force of devastation great boxing manager great man that was a i was a great point in my life you know america the world america is run by money run about business is run by money money first money for you the big businessman and they make decisions based on money how much cost was the principal what was praying what was right and what was wrong and money meant nothing to you need to tell me to be careful this wasn't for this and everything that he said when he was alive came true [Music] obviously this already bleeding from the nails my shots are so accurate and so precise not to be egotistic but when they land they're so precise can't help who you are you have to go down [Applause] virtually a tko in the second round by mike tyson so tyson goes 5-0 with all five knockouts and it was a devastating second round mike has great skills but cuss brought him out cuss was an enormously talented trainer and teacher of young boys tyson not only has a very hard terrific punch in either hand but he has developed elusive qualities and has the most important club the will to win while in the gym he practiced damato's peekaboo style fighting with one's hands high as if in a defensive screen it has the ability he has the potential and most of all he has the desire he really wants to be a champion let's think about it how how much pressure and how much can a 19 year old say putting the pressure on to be the youngest champion in the world i well of course that's them talking that's custom otto and tyson making these bold predictions and they put pressure on themselves i tell you i am glad i am this side of the ropes and not that side of the ropes you would go to you'd pay to see his fights just to watch him somebody up it wasn't a fight it was an execution boxing is the theater of the unexpected for the first black book in many ways that sentiment perfectly describes mike tyson [Music] you see big mike tyson come for you better head in the other direction in a hurry you were fierce it's become difficult for mike to gain any ring experience seems to know the heavyweight wants to get into the ring with mike tyson one of the problems that uh we have bill kate and i'm managing mike is that when you manage a fighter who's a devastating puncher you cannot really calculatingly plan for a fight to go eight rounds or ten rounds yes uh mike tyson in my opinion the most exciting young heavyweight in boxing he keeps punching schedule six but hold on to your hat nobody thinks he's gonna go that far goodbye i hope he's not hurt because that was a brutal wide open punch i'll tell you michael jack johnson earned his money the hard way tonight and still undefeated mike tyson the man in the truest sense is an animal but we say that in a positive way to use the word animal might be the disrespect really but he certainly was in the rigor but he feared nothing and he was brilliantly trained and managed he was well looked after and well taught you know um well eight previous opponents thought that they were the toughest for mike tyson donnie long may well be donnie long was nicknamed the master of disaster will this be a win that puts donny long back into the heavyweight picture this will be a win to let everybody know that donnie long is back he boasted tyson would be a springboard for his career man your battle stations this is going to be a good one scheduled for six rounds mike tyson on the road he's only been fighting professionally for nine months but so far very impressive john that power is awesome tyson again another one of those fresh youngsters only 19 years of age well that was quick tyson putting him down here early this is very impressive mike tyson not expected to come out this strong against long five of eight have fallen in the first with a strong right-hand barrage again this is as bad as i've ever seen donnie long it look interesting to see long when he thought he was going to get up and then just kind of crumple down again well i know there's a guy smiling out there gusty yamato 77 year old trailer of mike tyson tyson's ascent continued a lot of people came to look jesse ferguson came to look the frasiers came to look james broad was out there dang all of you all you come get some mike tyson's out here he's waiting for you all come get some because believing that he cares for the downtrodden people he really was that guy he was the guy that fought for the people that that didn't have um anyone to fight for them i mean a coward and a hero there's nothing they're the same i mean they feel the same it's what they do that makes it different it's what he does it makes him a hero and what the other fellow doesn't do that makes him a cow [Music] mike tyson undefeated in his 10th professional fight against robert coway and with a fellow with this type of competitive spirit and the punching power i can't see him lose left hood good night what a great shot they keep wheeling him out he keeps knocking them over okay look at the stats 10 fights 10 wins seven inside the first round tyson in passive kevin rooney cutting the gloves off is it getting a bit too easy for mike tyson because in my opinion the mind and emotions about 75 percent of boxing tragically castiamato passed away the only real father figure mike had ever known was gone cuss had surrounded tyson with everything he'd ever need to carry on a trusted management team with jim jacobs and bill caton a loving trainer in kevin rooney who'd been brought up by cuss himself tyson still lives in the home owned by the damato family the tyson story is more important in my opinion anyway the custom model store cuss would remain in your life a little bit longer do you think that your life would have turned out a little bit different totally different i feel like his career and his life would have been very different if custom died what he did i think so too yeah i think so too you listen to this thing do you think mike that if he had lived that your life would have been different oh yeah yeah yeah yeah the late and legendary trainer customato was the only real father figure mike tyson ever knew had 10 fights but very few of them go past the first round the bobbing and the weaving the constant head movement the crouching etc first punchy throw eddie richardson looking at the referee is in much disbelief as we are tyson is a little ice box rattled in a refrigerator i'll tell you what [Applause] you lost a dear friend in custom auto not too long ago and a lot of people thought you might not come down here and fight you recorded the saying uh cuss would have wanted to tell you almost definitely even though he didn't model um being around him since the age of 13 i'm more like business orientated and i know not that anything involving business you know things happen we all have disappointments but we can't we can't let these things stop our lives the heavyweight division has always been boxing climber group and now a new star is rising in the division he's 19 year old mike tyson mike tyson like muhammad ali transcends a sport of boxing i mean dude remember when we used to think that nobody could beat tyson yeah remember i'm expecting not a mack truck but an express train to run over a guy that's standing on the track saying stop blood coming from the nose of sammy scaff already a big left hook everybody thinks that no one can challenge mike tyson right now you could take anybody out [Applause] [Music] my mission is to go and destroy not to let anything get involved you get punched you get hurt i refuse to be hurt not down and knock out i can't lose i refuse to lose the raging bull jake lamotta had an ominous warning for the young fighters i'll stay away from all the garbage out there yeah there's a lot of garbage out there oh yeah but women have to be garbage stuff no i know i know but it's unfortunately guys like you and i we attract garbage his name is mike tyson and he is very much a local favorite here tell me about this approach of yours to boxing you enter the ring you wear black uh you don't wear socks mike tyson has come to fight tonight that's the first time i've seen a main event fighter coming to ring with no robe on he says i'm ready to go let's just do it oh this guy is like a like a ball of granite don't go to the bathroom don't get a snack don't even get up to look for the channel changer this fight is not going to get outside the first round awesome is an overused word in the 1980s but mike tyson is absolutely awesome i have 15 fights in one year 15 knockouts so you take it send it to all the sportscasters and then come in people here start bidding to have me [Applause] [Music] david jacob the white fighter in the dark blue trunks mixed it with the best tomi tucker he's knocked out razor rudder can't afford this quality of opponent from mike tyson tyson had made believers out of the public his capturing the heavyweight title seemed like a fork-on conclusion many who are predicting that mike tyson will be the next heavyweight champion yes that's true mike is a ray of sunshine coming to the hebrew wheat division kid dynamite but the majority of the boxing world picture him as the man who will be king tyson mania took the sporting world by storm he has recently been on the cover of national magazines notably sports illustrated and the ring magazine a feature in people magazine i don't believe there's ever been a fighter who has reached this prominence this quickly in the history of boxing [Music] people don't realize that heavyweight boxing in the early 80s was dead nobody cared because larry holmes after he beat muhammad ali everybody was sad it was like a sad thing you wonder what pressure if any tyson experiences at this stage of his career [Applause] and of course as a result generated far more press and far more coverage on television than any fighter in boxing history i'll tell you one thing being there we were right at ringside i have been to a lot of fights right and i have never heard punches like i've heard your punches i mean i've seen punches but i've never heard them they would allow this either you hit the harness or that man was just like made us a menace everybody's been talking about the young man from the catskill area 18 fights so far in his professional career in just one year as a brother spectacular first-round knockout trying to make every shot count everyone is a grenade shot 14 months ago tyson was earning under a thousand dollars a fight today separate deals with abc and hbo have brought in over two million dollars for eight fights and then there's his age at 19 is it too much to ask to be the heavyweight champ of the world and when i walked in that building and mike tyson walked into the ring without robe and the reaction of the crowd i had never at any time seen anything like that he wears no rose he wears no socks with his boxing shoes he says that that makes him feel more like a warrior more like a gladiator as he enters the ring eclipse floyd batterside is the youngest heavyweight champion of all time if he wins the title anytime before may 5 1988. [Applause] mike has an ability to slip punches that has not been seen in the heavy rape race since muhammad ali still undefeated [Applause] it was now that don king made his first appearance in tyson's career here's 80s tyson speaking about king juxtaposed with present-day titles has been helped me through a great deal of pressure when i was going to distress bill cain didn't care to put two cents and no one else could help so no one can't tell me anything bad about don king if i say don king the no good loudly then everybody can believe me then i got caught up with this other piece of don king who's a wretched this is just a wretched slimy reptilian mother so it's more than just a business relationship absolutely basically he's just like anyone else he's a father he has children he loves his grandkids and he's he's happy and he's happy his life is very successful he's just um he's just a bad man he's real bad man he abused you and he would throw you in his ruthless he's on he's deplorable he doesn't know how to love anybody do you think he ever as people said about others robbed from you i don't believe you were robbed for me john king is facing a grand jury investigation and there are accusations that he mishandled mike tyson's mother just let me say only in america is i'm excited about hbo having a fantastic show tonight another sellout for hbo the trajectory of mike's life was about to change spike big mike tyson in the ring set for that next step backs off from a sharp right uppercut for the body by tyson the count is six the count is eight he will not get up it's over sam show me what heavyweight throws punches that quick this man's talents and skills and how he's honing those skills talking to jim jacobs there here the spotlight falls most directly on 20 year old mike tyson whose public appeal grows every time he fights marvis frazier who has just entered the ring here in the glens falls civic center the record 16 and one with know because i seven knockouts learn who i could really be and who i wanted to be but what could be at that particular stage of my life tyson comes out sluggish he comes out smoking like marvison's father joe [Applause] you got knocked the food out it did not last 20 seconds his fastest knockout which came against marvis frazier in 1986 right now there is jim jacobs manager mike tyson talking to him look at a guy like mike tyson in his prime i mean he was the epitome of dedication by the fight i was confident i trained real hard with my trainer kevin rooney who i owe a great deal to kevin rooney had guided tyson's training every step of the way much like mike rooney was a disciple of d'amato and had been with mike since he was a kid their closeness allowed rooney to continue to press tyson for strict training discipline despite tyson's growing fame and ego well the fact remains the press and the public alike continuing to sing the praises of this man mike tyson they think the next great champion you would get into the ring and people were scared of you okay don't anybody go to the toilet or the refrigerator mike tyson has short working hours he punches in and punches out one of the things that's always fascinated me about you is this ability you have to intimidate opponents a lot of them seem to have been beaten before they got in the ring almost to weaponize fear in a way few ever have when you came around all of a sudden everybody's watching heavyweight boxing the heavyweight boxing wasn't boring again it was the the most crazy exciting thing in sports mike tyson at age 20 would contend for the wbc heavyweight title he will have a shot it appears at the heavyweight title the undefeated heavyweight has signed to fight in the hbo title unification series and he'll face trevor berbick the wbc title holder probably sometime this fall and if taishan should beat burbik he would become the youngest man in history ever to win the heavyweight championship berber was the last person to fight ali and he hurt ali very bad when you fought him was there any revenge 100 yes no doubt about it i said oh i can't wait to get him him and larry holmes the fight brought out all the a-listers and tony danza i laugh at tony danza and i'm super creepy rob though in the morning i'm making waffles [Applause] so now the moment of truth is not far off this will be the wbc heavyweight championship of the world he could go into the record books tonight if he can capture the title from the reigning champ trevor burbank this is what mike tyson has trained his whole life for this is what customarto and jimmy jacobs train this man for i believe he will be the youngest heavyweight champion of all time and remains dedicated interested and without any distractions i believe that eventually you'll go down in history as the greatest heavyweight champion because she's always broken the situation you're saying you know if you really took a deep interest in it you will be champ of the world and you say with no problem you'll be chance there is electricity in the crowd i've got goosebumps on the line the wbc heavyweight championship of the world because at this particular point i was throwing what can i say hydrogen bombs heavy punches with murderous intentions you talk about being on the stage on a moment and capturing that moment a good round one for mike tyson this is round two the wbc heavyweight championship of the world trevor perfect and mike tyson that was the coming out that was the star going on broadway and saying i am a star look at me you'll have to take the standing as he steps right off the couch and he absolutely destroyed him he knocked him all over the ring it was over in two rounds and at that time you thought this guy is going to be the champion for a decade or more tyson seized the title in spectacular fashion he goes down he should be able to get up from this his legs may be shut they are as trevor falls back as well mike is a boy prodigy he's 20 years old he is quite an incredible force in the heavyweight division but he's just a boy [Music] we've got a brand new heavyweight champion in a devastating second round mike tyson age 20 became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history [Applause] his managers cornermen and friends ran to congratulate him tyson kissed jim jacobs he was the youngest heavyweight champion in history if it wasn't for cuss this would nev this will never happen the idea i'm the youngest champ in the world the idea that it'll live forever the record i think will never be broken and it's what i can say he's probably up up there right now saying you did a lot of mistakes you did a lot of mistakes the title brought fame money and temptation juvenile delinquent to media superstar in seven years he adorns the covers of magazines a charismatic young man who displays fearsome power in the ring what was that like to be the youngest heavyweight champion did you get to enjoy it or was it just pressure leeches trust problems betrayal that everything that came with money and success yeah but that was that's what it was hi i'm mike tyson heavyweight champ of the world let's talk boxing great champions have their fans help me help you iron man say no to drugs but very few have been cheered and loved like this one mike tyson's punch-out from nintendo now you're playing with power the world media has descended on las vegas again and one of them will leave the ring with the wbc and the wba titles astronomers have recently discovered a rare supernova an exploding star mike tyson is boxing's supernova a force of nature who has exploded on all of us already strapped tyson now sought to unify the heavyweight titles another big left hand thomas is and now tyson moves in for the kill two uppercuts in the left hand thomas trying to hold on serious trouble and there he goes it's over it is over thomas did not make it by the count of ten i think he's going to be heavyweight champion for a very long long time a man with a chance on august 1 to unify the championship in the eyes of all three existing governing bodies one man will climb out of this 20-foot square with the undisputed title for the first time since february 15 1978. tyson aimed to unify all three heavyweight titles mike tyson entertains the public when he enters the arena it's the same feeling people get if they're gonna watch a picture like jaws they know they're gonna be shocked entertained amazed but affected emotionally [Applause] mike tyson had become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 10 years how many people could handle that too i mean the money the fame at that age you're the champion the baddest man alive for the holmes fight mike was going with three girls just seemed to be semi-serious about three women this was miss america robin and a very gorgeous model larry holmes had famously beaten muhammad ali down in ali's final days of boxing customato took the holmes beating of ali so personal he called ali the day after to complain about it the next morning cuss is on the phone with muhammad how do you let that bum hit on you jeff wally how do you either eat at that bumble you know because he's almost getting sensitive you know emotional why is the bump he and then january 22 i'm fighting them and then ali comes into the ring and says get them from me [Applause] when tyson was in his prime as a knockout artist he was so lethal there had never been a heavyweight like him before a big right hand and down goes the former champion 17 seconds he may be able to get by the round now he should be hanging on [Music] [Applause] tyson would marry robin gibbons following the fight got to marry some people from during my attic stage and uh once mike got married uh robin gibbons and ruth of course were very interested in taking over mike's career they moved into a grand new jersey mansion but as soon as she got married she called up and said she's mrs mike tyson i'm taking over i want to see all the books and all the records the ink wasn't dry on their marriage license before she hit the bank it was reported to us here in new york that robin and ruth were at the bank already claiming mike's account givens began pushing mike to manage himself which meant robin would manage him within two hours of the champions arrival here tyson mania was in full crime he is a symbol of the united states now that i'm married i no longer spend my wealth my wife spends all my life the new bride's arrival only added more fuel to what was already the hottest story in town tyson spent more time touring the country with gibbons than he did training tyson fight as mrs champion robin inquiring minds want to know how does a woman who went to sarah lawrence and harvard medical school wind up falling in love with a guy who's a graduate of the school of hard knocks god i want to know too there's something we have a lot of in common uh tradition traditional families and and we just sort of love each other i'm i'm not from now i'm from i'm from the ghetto i'm from the dirt hard bone segregated ghetto that's where i'm from there's something we have a lot of in common uh tradition traditional families tyson exploded on the scene in japan swarmed by adoring fans he was treated like a fabled warrior from some ancient times you have seen tyson before you are aware of what is called the gladiator look no robe no towels no socks just the black trunks the boots and the 10-ounce everlast glove he brings a professional record of 33 victories without a loss 29 kos and 15 in the first round alone for the first time since mike's been fighting as a professional the other co-manager jim jacobs has not been able to make this trip tyson's head movement was eroding becoming less and less effective tyson is now being hit isn't he whereas in his early fights he was one minute to go in round one cuss recognized early on the importance of tyson staying very active the concept behind mike fighting every two weeks was customized but money and the influences of don king and robin gibbons have altered the way mike approached his career 30 seconds left in the round both fighters have had their say here tubbs is hurt cubs this is your first fight as a newlywed were you thinking about that at all did you want to put on a special performance in any way not at all because i'm in the ring i'm objective tunnel vision and it's just this is my world in here in 1988 jim jacobs passed away you know services were held in hillside memorial cemetery for boxing manager jimmy jacobs manager jim jacobs died in 1988 tyson had lost his second surrogate father no love in your life and then you come into all of this money because you're the best fighter in the world that created the opportunity for don king to move in a confused 21 year old kid before jacobs was buried don king made his move boxing complex of promoter don king has become a home away from home for heavyweight champion mike tyson now in the picture we're a wife a mother-in-law promoter and advisor tyson spinks was the most anticipated heavyweight fight in years a million dollar gate occurs when the two fighters are so popular that the public demands the fight but the lead-up was dominated by robin gibbons robin gibbons-tyson has apparently filed a lawsuit against bill caton he was in the mix with gibbons don king is trying to pull him away from cayden king used the media to insinuate kayton was stealing from tyson ironic since king would go on to steal over a hundred million dollars from tyson green reaches at the deepest core of people it reaches deep at them and they're fighting for me and stuff and all that crap and then that made it easy for don king to sneak in and he used um he got me good so i'm in the dressing room with tyson and i'm looking to rattle this guy the manager of michael spinks who went wild after he discovered that mike tyson had had his hands taped spanx manager got cute before the fight and forced tyson to re-wrap his hands to try and throw him off tyson began putting his fists through walls and anger and he's punching he's punching holes in the wall the sound prompted sphinx to investigate oh no this guy's getting ready to fight my guy my little girl the undefeated man who brings the dreams michael's speech [Applause] as always no shirt no robe no accoutrement the life that he lived back then was unmanageable he was the king of the world he was in his 20s he was buck wild just going crazy flatlining people everywhere he went people throw rose petals at his feet and screaming cheering fans a record of 34-0 and that doesn't count his recent bouts with his wife and his manager that night tyson was as good as any fighter has ever been when they got in that ring there's something where you retain his heights and you did you just don't do it again but that night he reached his peak it was the most awesome heavyweight tried to ever slow my life [Applause] cut landed inside and spiks went down that night tyson was as good as any heavyweight has ever been and he's down again and in serious trouble he's not going to make it it's all over [Applause] like when he won that title he had all the titles and he had he had he was married to ryan gibbons and things started to happen and everything went all right you know i mean there's no fighter like me i was reading the day there was some fighters in the papers quoting i don't like mike tyson because he's too cocky and he's arrogant but for all the fighters that said that you know i mean i let no there's no fighter like me and i can beat any man in the world bill caton managed tyson's career from the beginning but was forced out of his job the night of the sphinx fight tyson fired bill caton turning to don king for management and promotion he changed entirely his marriage and don king changed him into a different person after his marriage to robin gibbons and his association with don king tyson's life seemed to unravel lawsuits car accidents and domestic brawl after the sphinx fight tyson went into a downward spiral of legal troubles and financial issues stormy summer of 88 the broken hand against mitch gray mitch green threw the first blow he punched him in the chest right around you know this area right here green suffered an injury to his eye tyson a hairline fractured to his right hand and who knows how much damage to his reputation early this morning tyson was expected to appear at new york's twenty-fifth tree he wrecked his car after a reported heated argument with robin gibbons my belief mike really turned into the mic we know today as his marriage to robin gibbons came apart so did he in a nationally televised interview robin gibbons told barbara walters that tyson was a manic depressive he gets out of control um throwing screaming a charge that would later prove groundless he shakes he pushes he um he swings when i look back at it now i can't believe i sat there and didn't say anything robin givens divorced him their marriage lasted eight months she took his house 10 million dollars and brad pitt so she brought a guy home to see her you want to know who it is brad pitt brad must have been smoking a joiner he must have been drinking something because he was real close to me in the car he had no idea he didn't see me but then when he got out the car he saw me [Music] and i lost a lot of my i kept getting lost i lost this this lost into a lawsuit here um most of my money i've tricked off on lawsuits if i spend 250 million dollars on girls and trips and clothes that's nothing what i did on lawsuits okay it's not it's not a question that i stood up for bill caton i stood up for what was right for for what cuss had started long time trainer kevin rooney protested so tyson fired rooney too bernie was a wonderful trainer for him kevin rooney loved him but don king made him fire kevin rooney and i think the day tyson fired kevin rooney there was a cap put on mike tyson's development as a fighter rooney had trained tyson from 1982 to 1988 the final strings to cast the amato were severed it was now the don king show so suddenly there's a whole new cast of characters around tonight i think that kevin rooney didn't fit into the picture tyson came out firing in his first fight without kevin rooney yes that's the new executive trainer in charge of the team he was really imposed on uh tyson tyson didn't want him but finally he agreed to accept him while his power was still there his head movement was still slowing he stopped moving his head he started to jab less oh lovely that took that from brutal cracking punch under don king his boxing technique began to decline in a road his skills were eroding less lateral movement began to expose him to more headshots [Applause] the best champion the world has seen for some time i didn't challenge me with their somewhat primitive skills they're just as good as dead mike tyson is the most famous athlete in the world fame has even followed tyson across the sea to japan tyson's in japan to defend his heavyweight boxing title against james buster douglas rumors swirled about tyson skipping gym time after my divorce from robin i lost the live design my fighting stuff that effect i was training and i'm on my spawn partners dropped me before the fight rumors had swirled about tyson's mental and physical state he'd been knocked down and sparred i had a few fights with lesser opponents and i was successful without training hard at all mentally for the fight and so i didn't take buster seriously there was no longer any voice in his life that would dare speak against him so i went to japan hanging out with a lot of women had women in my room bobby brown said that mike tyson and i were in japan we basically stayed up all night partying with 12 japanese girls i kept telling mike you need to go to sleep and get lying stop lying bro for the fight tomorrow he said then you told bobby listen i'm not on amateur i know what i'm doing yeah right nobody can beat me i got this i go to bed whenever i gotta go to bed [Laughter] by this time tyson was alone no wife no family no real friends well in the important game of expectations this fight is over before it begins or soon thereafter it's a it's a tragic story but it's also like there's so many lessons in that story it's like for all of us it's like there's a lot to learn you know that what happened when it got all the way to buster douglas when it was like you thought it felt like you can't lose please welcome the challenger james buster douglas buster douglas always had a tremendous amount of talent but he never totally put it together but then his mom died and he decided he was gonna mike tyson up for his mother so it was a perfect storm of mike tyson being king of the world doesn't even feel like he has to train anymore and along the way buster douglas for that fight trained like a demon he was 37-0 at that particular moment in time he was fierce he was menacing you begin to file through your memory for the biggest upset in heavyweight championship fight history douglas insists that he's going to shock the world in this fight if he should upset mike tyson it would make the shocks in eastern europe seem like local ward politics when you're fighting at the real top level of a spawn you know if you start missing training start taking drugs start sleeping around i don't think i've ever seen tyson absorb that kind of a four or five punch combination his training team was so inept they had forgotten one of the most standard pieces of equipment an end swell and he has swelled up mike tyson's eye and is dominating the fight right now and of course that infamous a corner treatment that he got in tokyo tyson because and you knock him down i think in the eighth round and he got like a a very long count the referee gave him extra a couple seconds to recover that he shouldn't have and there's a right hand uppercut and down goes six seven eight nine ten you're out you're out buster no he's out i believe he will be the youngest heavyweight champion of all time and remains dedicated and interested and without any distractions i believe that you will go down in history as the greatest heavyweight champion what i took from it is that it was the beginning of the end of mike tyson the mike tyson day we knew the aura of invincibility was gone tyson's demons that finally caught up to him does it seem like a dream yeah pretty much like a blur and suddenly mike tyson perceived as this giant monolith has been reduced to being another heavyweight champion who got defeated you've seen a piece of sporting history the like of which there is perhaps never been in a boxing ring before mike tyson's reign is over i can't believe the defeat sent shockwaves around the world james buster douglas is the undisputed heavyweight champ of the world buster douglas the new heavyweight champion mike tyson who has often bragged that no man alive could beat him refused to be interviewed after the fight just one of the things i was sleeping and i got my ass whipped and it doesn't change me i'm no different no less of a person anything tyson was motivated again to reclaim his lost prize tyson's reign of terror over the heavyweight division lasted three years and three months he demolished the top two contenders and route to a shot at the championship [Music] but as he entered what should have been his prime so at the peak of your career you were convicted and sent to prison for rape which you write that you you did not do her name is desiree washington an 18 year old college freshman another beauty pageant contestant quoted you as saying he's got a lot of money and he's dumb you saw what robin gibbons got out of him he's someone that he has so much money he's always throwing it around i might as well get a piece of it you know that's how people looked at it serving a six-year term at the indiana youth center tyson was back in the setting he knew all too well everything his adopted father castamato had tried to prevent had come true under the tutelage of don king and they destroyed the greatest fighter i've ever seen you have to understand me being behind prisons will be a lot different than the average person being a high prisoner hey guys come on shut up sorry it was jerry the debt is paid the prison term over three years ago tomorrow mike tyson entered an indiana penitentiary tyson went straight into training and the fights came back yes tyson is back and with him comes the attention and excitement that only a superstar can generate tyson came back with a vengeance against peter mcneely as the former champion makes his final preparations in private you wonder if he has rekindled that burning rage that made him once nearly invincible now if the former champion is to climb the mountain one more time that journey must begin tonight in impressive fashion [Applause] tonight making his return to the ring introducing the one the only mike tyson through all the upheaval tyson remained the sport's most famous and infamous figure and its biggest box office draw the intensity he wants to get this fight over as soon as possible he wants to be impressive he wants to be destructive once told him your greatest asset can become your greatest weakness and mcneely as advertised [Applause] he can barely stand up the convict was still a draw his very first fight after release won him 25 million dollars his erratic spending and substance abuse worsened mike tyson is departing tyson went out of the gym was alone and isolated how much money do you think he spent on drugs i mean you're an incredibly wealthy man i don't know um i think enough cocaine is a hell of a drug there's a line in the front yard loose wow he was on the steps like this with a heavyweight belt what how come nobody wants to get out the car play with my cat you and him coming over your house in a limousine and you had a it was it a lion or a tiger tiger he must over the lines with the tiger this is a crazy picture you and your underwear with a tiger on a chain what made you think you could get a tiger like how did that even happen pet tigers bro you wrestled with them it still still didn't have peace out something was i still had that old darkness from back before so i become this addict now because i always drink my whole life never stop drinking his boxing skills had faded slightly tyson continues to miss and missing again and missing again pivot swing around on your opponent's side what makes me successful is my ego my desire my self hate and the fact that i want to be up more than people want me to be down tonight in his first title fight since losing the undisputed world heavyweight title to james buster douglas february of 19 after a series of quick knockouts mike tyson would take aim every capturing the heavyweight title [Applause] in a blink mike tyson had retaken the heavyweight belt wbc heavyweight champion of the world iron mike tyson he battled bruce selden for the wba title a very loose looking bruce sheldon a very serious looking he had now unified the titles again and tyson with a left hook and sultan is down on his stomach oh forget it he's wobbling and that's it it's over in the first round a unified championship again when i beat bruce sheldon i fought him and beat him in a one-round knockout and i had two belts on my way after being out of prison i'm 11 months coming out of prison or two about some boys i really thought i was somebody special then because no one's ever done that not even muhammad ali and then um once again i let everything go go away and i believed i was god i believe i was great i didn't believe i had to train for them i thought everybody was afraid of me finally after many impediments and obstacles being put in both their path only one belt remained to become undisputed once more this time he would have to face evander holyfield apparently holyfield kept headbutting him over and over again the ref didn't do anything about it and no one warned him no one took any points for him what am i to do this is my career i can't continue getting buddy like that i got children to raise and this guy keeps butting me trying to cut me and get me stopped on cut i gotta retaliate so tyson got really dazed and confused and finally he just snapped to fit his ear off what happened here [Applause] [Music] [Applause] for the second time mike tyson will fight again and you'll pay to see him but this time you're going to pay twice his tasteless performance against evander holyfield spawned headlines like reality bites paper chew and irresponsible to say when the budding occurs and i thought i might lose because of a severely of a cut above my eye i just i just snapped you know we have never seen the mike tyson bowl that was here before he went to prison since he came out we have not seen that mike tyson after a two-year layoff mike tyson's ban was lifted and he was allowed to return 18 months after being disqualified for biting the ears of evander holyfield mike tyson comes back [Applause] that's all it took one shot he may not get up then he called out lennox lewis i'm the most brutal and vicious and most ruthless champion has ever been there's no one can stop me lynx is a conqueror no i'm alexander he's no alexander my style is impetuous my defense is impregnable and i'm just ferocious i want your heart i want to eat his children praise be to allah though he still had a puncher's chance he was a shell of his former self so the man who once was the youngest heavyweight champion in history now will try to regain the title at the advanced age of 35. the fight wasn't tyson's last but symbolically it was kid dynamite was never coming back now it's just chaos and cocaine and women and and and then eventually the wheels fall off i was madly in love with custom motto i became um he broke me down and rebuild me back up and um i became totally loyal to him my over under was 90 seconds mike tyson literally exploded into our living room when he was being trained by custom auto he was living the total existence of a man hell-bent on becoming the world champion remember from the side you can let that punch go with the fight stewart has stated categorically that he knows he needs to keep throwing punches to try to keep tyson occupied if he stopped throwing he'll be dead this could be quick i was afraid of a 30-second sound bite boxing is the theater of the unexpected in many ways that sentiment perfectly describes mike tyson forged under the tutelage of the great custom motto mike permits himself to be pushed around he is one person in the ring and a completely different person when we go out a theater of the unexpected scared of the real man can you love me by the looks of this guy this is not consensual sex we're talking about kevin told us this guy's gonna be champion as long as he wants to be champion and it's obvious he wants to continue being champion champion of the world what will people remember about mike tyson 50 years from now 50 years i don't know the most destructive ferocious fighting machine that god ever created yeah that's what i think nobody brings it home like nobody make it so don't forget to download warpath using my link in the description you
