Career
As at the age of 13, Tyson had already been arrested 38 times. His saving grace came when he was forced to attend the Tryon School for Boys. At the Tryon School, Tyson’s talent in the boxing ring was evident.
Bobby Stewart, a juvenile detention center counselor and former boxer, began to train Tyson and would eventually introduce the phenom to the legendary boxing manager and trainer, Cus D’Amato.
Cus D’Amato quickly took over Tyson’s training responsibilities and would even become Mike’s legal guardian when at 16 his mother died.
Tyson’s first victory came at the 1982 Junior Olympics where won a silver medal. On March 6th 1985, Tyson made his professional debut against Hector Mercedes. The fight ended with a knock out from Mike.
Tyson would go on to win 26 out of 28 professional fights by KO/TKO and began to attract media attention. Tragically, Cus D’Amato died in November 1985.

He was convicted in 1992 and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Tyson served three in prison then attempted to make a comeback in 1995. He easily won his first two comeback fights and pulled in huge pay-per-view numbers.
