Remember when Mike Tyson knocked out Lou Savarese, just 38 seconds into their fight in June 2000? Those who have been following the sport for a long time would know. The duo met at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland. However, the fight was memorable for another reason than the knockout.

Promoted by Frank Warren, it aired on Showtime via tape delay, called a deferred live. Iron Mike was returning to the ring after a four-month prison sentence in a 10-round heavyweight bout. Just 12 seconds into the first round, Mike Tyson landed a powerful leaping left hook, his first, knocking his opponent down. What followed was not a great-to-watch scene. Once Savarese got up, Tyson went in for the kill. However, after a few vicious combinations from Iron Mike, referee John Coyle intervened to call off the bout. He tried to stop Tyson from the punching frenzy at 26 seconds, albeit in a failed attempt. Nevertheless, when Coyle jumped in to stop the bout, Savarese was still standing and ready to go. The referee, despite the protests from Savarese and his corner, gave the win to Tyson, which left the crowd booing at the anti-climactic nature of the finish. A crowd of 30,000 people left the venue disappointed over such a brief fight. But the best part was yet to come.

In the post-fight interview with Jim Gray of Showtime, the Brooklyn native, in his most famous callouts ever, unleashed his inner beast to send out a challenge to the undisputed heavyweight champion at the time, Lennox Lewis. But a few days ago, @dopimuzik, an Instagram page that posts AI-generated baby videos of celebrities speaking their iconic lines, did so for this crazy speech from Mike Tyson. An AI-generated baby Mike Tyson delivers the terrifying speech while the original voice from the interview runs in the background. “I was going to rip his heart out, I’m the best ever,” the 58-year-old had said to Gray.

Continuing the blood-driven outrage, what continued was scary and memorable at the same time. “I’m the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He’s no Alexander! I’m Alexander! I’m the best ever. I’m Sonny Liston. I’m Jack Dempsey. There’s never been anyone like me. I’m from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I’m just ferocious. I want your heart! I want to eat his children!” declares the baby Mike Tyson in the hilarious clip.

This entire audio was stamped behind a cute-looking AI-generated video of a toddler Tyson, who even had a face tattoo mimicking the boxer’s famous face tattoo. Sharing the reel in his Instagram story, Kid Dynamite just wrote “Baby Tyson 🤣,” laughing over it. However, not all AI-driven content surrounding Tyson has been lighthearted.

Just days ago, a polished poster for a supposed Mike Tyson biopic began circulating on social media, shared by several verified boxing outlets. The poster touted a 2026 release, starring Jamie Foxx as Tyson, Samuel L. Jackson as Don King, and Martin Scorsese as director. Fans, initially thrilled, were disappointed to learn the poster was fake. No official confirmation came from Netflix, Foxx, or Scorsese, and the project appeared to be a fabrication, likely AI-generated.

The confusion was compounded by Foxx’s involvement in another boxing-related project, Fight for ’84, a Netflix film about a coach rebuilding the 1984 US Olympic Boxing team after a tragic plane crash killed the original squad.

Regardless, this incident underscores the growing challenge of distinguishing fact from fiction in the age of AI, where convincing fakes can spread rapidly, even fooling credible sources. From humorous baby Tyson videos to misleading biopic posters, AI’s influence is undeniable. While it can entertain and spark creativity, it also poses risks, as false information can gain traction with alarming ease.

What are your thoughts on this?

Mike Tyson lost his fight against influencer Jake Paul, but the 58-year-old earned widespread admiration for his resilience through the eight-round match.

However, his former trainer, Jeff Fenech, has expressed regret after urging people to bet on the legendary boxer to win the match against Paul.

Mike Tyson called the experience a victory, sharing gratitude for stepping into the ring again despite his health challenges.

Jeff Fenech Admits Regret Over Mike Tyson’s Loss To Jake Paul

In an interview with Australia Nine’s “Today,” Jeff Fenech, former trainer to Tyson, admitted he was overwhelmed with calls after urging “so many” people to bet on the boxer in his fight against Jake Paul last Friday.

Following the highly anticipated heavyweight clash, held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which ended with Paul, 27, securing a unanimous decision victory over the 58-year-old Tyson after eight rounds, Fenech expressed his regret, stating, “Yeah, I was [surprised].”

“I had so many people ring me, and so many people lost money because of me. I’m pretty embarrassed,” he added, per the New York Post.

Despite Tyson’s defeat, Fenech insisted the fight wasn’t just about the result.

“It may have been a terrible fight, but what he represented and what he was trying to do isn’t just to show people he can fight, he’s trying to show people that at 58 you can work hard,” he explained. “He’s changed his whole life around and I think that’s what it’s about. The rest of the stuff far outweighs the fight.”

Jeff Fenech Warns Mike Tyson Against Returning To The Ring

Fenech, who previously worked with Tyson in the past, including his final fight in 2005 against Kevin McBride, after which Tyson retired with a record of 50 wins and six losses, believed that Iron Mike had the potential to secure one of the fastest wins of his career if he approached it correctly.

However, in the aftermath of Tyson’s loss to Paul, Fenech revealed he has spoken with the former heavyweight champion several times, discouraging Tyson from stepping into the ring again.

“My advice would be that you don’t have to do that again,” Fenech stated. “He’s talking about being sick … but at 58 and working your body the way he did, it’s very difficult to stay healthy. Sometimes, you overdo it and burn your engine out.”

Still, Fenech remains impressed by Tyson’s transformation. He said, “For me, I’m so proud of how Mike has changed his life around and over 100 million people watched at home. Although all of us fight people can say what a terrible fight that was, most people think what a great job Mike Tyson did.”

The Legendary Boxer’s Current Trainer Also Expressed Surprise At His Loss

Rafael Cordeiro, Tyson’s trainer, recently spoke about Saturday’s fight at AT&T Stadium, expressing gratitude that the boxing icon can now focus on spending quality time with his family after months of intense preparation.

“We worked for seven months for this moment. I really believed we had this victory before the fight. He never asked to give up,” Cordeiro shared, per the Daily Mail.

Despite the loss, Cordeiro emphasized Tyson’s enduring legacy: “He (Tyson) is the people’s champion. He has inspired many people outside the ring. Most importantly, Mike comes home to his loved ones.”

Mike Tyson Reveals Near-Death Experience After Losing His Fight With Jake Paul

In the lead-up to his boxing match with Paul, Tyson faced significant health challenges, including a severe ulcer flare-up that required the fight, originally slated for July 20, to be postponed.

Following the match, the boxing icon took to X to share a shocking revelation.

“This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” he began. “I’m grateful for last night. No regrets about getting in the ring one last time. I almost died in June.”

Tyson added: “Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won. To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.”

Fans Hail The Boxing Legend For Being An Inspiration After His Jake Paul Fight

In response to Tyson’s heartfelt post, Paul commented: “Love you, Mike. It was an honor. You’re an inspiration to us all.”

Fans also poured in with messages of admiration and respect for the boxing legend. “You’ll always be the greatest boxer of all time to me,” one fan wrote. “I watched you all my life. Nobody even comes close. Thank you for being you. I wish I could have met you in person.”

Another added: “You’re the GOAT Tyson. Hope you see me in other endeavors outside boxing again. Mike Tyson Mysteries comes to mind.”

Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield recently revisited one of boxing’s most infamous moments in a TikTok video with his daughter, when Mike Tyson bit off a piece of his ear. The shocking incident occurred on June 28, 1997, during their highly anticipated rematch at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, leaving the boxing world stunned.

The rivalry began in November 1996, when Holyfield handed Tyson a crushing defeat in their first encounter. At the time, Tyson was just a year removed from his release from prison, wild and unpredictable. In the rematch, frustration boiled over for Tyson, who claimed Holyfield was using repeated headbutts that went unpunished.

Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson: Their relationship today

In a moment of infamy, Tyson bit off a chunk of Holyfield’s ear in the third round, then attempted to do the same to the other, resulting in his disqualification and cementing the bout as one of the most controversial in boxing history. It’s been 28 years since the incident, and the pair has hashed off their differences and even started a business together.

Regardless, Holyfield appeared in a video with his 20-year-old daughter Eve Holyfield, where Eve can be seen lip syncing Big Yavo’s song ‘Webbie Flow,’ especially the part where Yavo raps about Tyson biting off Holyfield’s ear. “Bi**h, I was broke, I hurt my wrist, I had to ice this bi**h/ Baby, you so fine, let me bite your ear, I’m on some Tyson s**t.”

WorldStar Hip Hop posted the clip on Instagram, with the caption reading, “Eve Holyfield, daughter of boxing legend #EvanderHolyfield, delivers a rap verse in #BigYavo’s track ‘Webbie Flow’ that references the infamous moment when Mike Tyson bit her father’s ear.” Since the clip came out, fans have taken to the comments section to share their thoughts on the matter.

Holyfield praised for his humor

Laughing off such an incident isn’t easy, even decades later. But Holyfield, now on good terms with Tyson, did just that, earning praise from fans for his grace and good humor. One user highlighted the bond fathers often have with their daughters. The user commented, “He’s a good sport for this… just shows dads are always soft on [their] daughters [and] gone do whatever [they] ask lol.” Interestingly, according to a June 2020 report from Boxing Scene, Holyfield said, “It [doesn’t] bother me. It cost me a lot of grief, but I’m glad it happened because it gave me an opportunity to talk about what forgiveness is.”

Another user simply praised Evander Holyfield for his sense of humor surrounding the entire thing. The user wrote, “He has a great sense of humor😂.” Talking about sense of humor, Tyson and Holyfield started a business together, introducing ‘Holy Ears,’ a line of ca***bis-infused edibles shaped like ears with a bite mark.

Someone else suggested that ‘The Real Deal’ did the video to make his daughter happy. The user commented, “Just a father making his daughter happy. ♥️💪🏾 Nothing to see here.” This video will also help her gain a significant following on Tik Tok.

The next user claimed that Holyfield didn’t want to laugh in the video, but could not help himself. The user wrote, “He did not wanna laugh at that, but it’s a bar! 🤣.” A lot of rappers reference boxers and their feats in their songs, like Kendrick Lamar references Terence Crawford in one of his raps.

This user could not believe Holyfield’s attitude towards the incident. The user wrote, “The fact that he can laugh about it is historical😂😂😂.” Well, it has been multiple decades, and he is clearly over it.

That said, it appears Eve Holyfield opened up doors to the past with her TikTok video with her father, Evander Holyfield. But the question is, what did you think about it?

Dennis Rodman was always known for being the ultimate hustle guy and winner on the court, and an absolute party animal that never shied away from sharing or showcasing how he felt loud and clear. So when “The Worm” drank through a big interview at his home back in 2003, he was bound to say some wild stuff.

At one point, Rodman mentioned the legendary boxer Mike Tyson out of the blue and explained the difference between them.

”That dude can’t tell the difference between image and reality,” Rodman said. ”He thinks he’s a tough guy, when he’s just a guy. I can’t change my image, because Dennis is my image.”

Dennis never minced words

A few years into his retirement, Rodman was enjoying the fruits of his labour and living every day to his fullest. Chilling in his luxurious home, Dennis hosted the interviewer from the New York Times and showed him how his usual day went.

It was as interesting and unpredictable as expected, as “Dennis the Menace” was going hard on the booze as usual. Sharing his most profound thoughts, from his basketball career, to his personal troubles, Rodman was unfazed to pour his heart out and share his piece of mind.

What prompted him to think of Tyson is unknown, but Rodman was probably trying to compare himself to “Iron Mike” in the sense of their images. Dennis felt he could never change or differentiate from the outside stigma that followed him ever since he entered his eccentric era post his Detroit Pistons “Bad Boys” days. On the other hand, “The Worm” felt Mike could turn off the scary image and goof around when he wasn’t preparing for a fight.

Rodman actually saw himself in Tyson

Interestingly, on a separate occasion, Dennis marveled at Mike’s life story because he could see himself in the same scenario. According to “The Worm,” he and Iron Mike shared a similar rough childhood and the motive to become winners rather than focusing on earning big bucks.

“Our life is so parallel as far as the way we were brought up and stuff like that,” Rodman said. “We didn’t really have any guidance or direction. We just wanted to do our profession. But when you meet good people, in the beginning, that puts you in the right direction to do well, and that’s very heartfelt. Once you’ve been abandoned when you’re a youth – between 12, 13, 14 years old – you feel like you lost. You have two directions: go to jail or die.”

“I had that desire to win. I didn’t give a sh*t what it took. I’ll do the dirty work. I don’t give a sh*t,” Dennis added. “He wanted to do his job, and I just wanted to do my job. I always say when I came up when I was 25 years old, I said, ‘I don’t give a sh*t, I’ll play for a fu***ng dollar. I just wanna play.”

What was Rodman’s accurate view of Tyson is something Dennis himself is probably not 100% sure of, but between two great athletes and unique individuals, there must have been mutual respect. After all, who would have wanted to get on Mike’s bad side, even if you were a fearless 6’7” beast like “The Worm.”

Mike Tyson Names The Boxing Legend Who Inspired His ‘Mean’ Persona: “He Was The Devil”

Mike Tyson took the heavyweight division by storm during the peak of his rollercoaster career.

‘Iron’ Mike rose to prominence shortly after making his debut in 1985, winning his first nineteen bouts via knockout with twelve of these coming inside the opening round.

He was just 20-years-old when he defeated WBC heavyweight champion Trevor Berbick in the second round of their showdown in 1985, becoming the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history.

He defeated WBA champion James Smith and IBF champion Tony Tucker in the year that followed his historic victory over Berbick, achieving undisputed status just one month after his 21st birthday.

Despite being arguably one of, if not the most feared and formidable heavyweight of all time, Tyson has revealed the one legendary fighter in particular who he aspired to be like.

In an interview, Tyson paid homage to four-weight world champion and Panamanian icon Roberto Duran, who he describes as ‘the devil’.

“I knew I wanted to be a fighter, but then I saw Roberto Duran and I said that’s who the f**k I wanna be, I said that’s who I wanna be a mean mother f***r, people are scared to look at him. The devil … Duran was an animal outside the ring … I used to go to his restaurant and say feed me what you feed Duran.”

Duran, who was known as ‘Hands of Stone’, is undeniably one of the greatest pressure fighters of all time. He exploded onto the scene in the early 80’s, with one of the most defining moments of his career coming against fellow all-time-great Sugar Ray Leonard, who he defeated in June 1980 to capture the WBC welterweight title in a classic.

Tyson Fury remains cold to the idea of returning to boxing. Yet that hasn’t stopped fans—and some high-profile names—from urging ‘The Gypsy King’ to lace up the gloves one last time. Among them is Amir J. Tyson, son of legendary heavyweight Mike Tyson, who believes Fury’s comeback should be for nothing less than the biggest fight the UK has to offer.

But who would that opponent be? If you haven’t already guessed, it’s former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. The long-rumored showdown between Fury and Joshua has been discussed for years, but the fight has never come to fruition. Interestingly, ahead of Fury’s second bout with Oleksandr Usyk, he appeared more receptive to facing ‘AJ’.

However, after suffering back-to-back losses, Fury has seemingly slipped back into retirement. Though he’s walked away from the sport before—only to return when the right offer came along—this time, a comeback has yet to materialize. That’s why, when a recent training clip of his was posted by The Ring, it sparked excitement among fans, reigniting hopes of the former WBC heavyweight champion stepping back into the ring.

Among the first to react was Amir Tyson, who responded to the clip with a bold prediction. “Him vs. Joshua on Netflix would shut down the UK lol.” While a bout of that magnitude would undoubtedly captivate fans, it’s worth noting that Joshua and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, have consistently expressed interest in making the all-British clash happen. The only wrinkle?

Hearn’s ongoing partnership with DAZN, which would likely secure streaming rights—unless, of course, something seismic changes. Regardless, it’s not just Mike Tyson’s son who has asked Tyson Fury to make a comeback to boxing.

Carl Froch asks Tyson Fury to fight Anthony Joshua

 Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua

Former world champion Carl Froch has urged Tyson Fury to fight Anthony Joshua if he decides to come out of retirement. Despite Fury’s back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, Froch believes a clash with Joshua is still the most appealing option. “The only fight really that’s going to be interesting for the fans… is if he fights Anthony Joshua,” Froch said on his Froch on Fighting podcast.

However, Froch doubts Joshua remains a serious threat after being knocked out by Daniel Dubois“AJ has been flattened, ironed out, a few times… The minute he steps in there with somebody that was lively, with a pulse… he got f***ing flattened.” Froch believes Fury would beat Joshua comfortably, saying, “That was a career-ending performance. Mentally, physically, everything.”

That said, while it’s unclear whether Tyson Fury would ever return to the sport, the world clearly craves the Anthony Joshua fight. But the question is—can Anthony Joshua beat Tyson Fury?

CATSKILL — Students from Catskill High School happily poured into the gymnasium during eighth period Friday afternoon. They did not know exactly why they were gathering, but they soon found out from assistant girls’ basketball coach Kyle Lyles. He told the audience they would be meeting someone who walked the same hallways they did years earlier. Lyles said that person was known as “The Baddest Man on the Planet.”

That sparked a buzz throughout the crowd of teenagers as they speculated aloud about the identity of the visitor. When Lyles added that the person became the youngest heavyweight champion of the world at the age of 20, Catskill’s student body realized Mike Tyson would soon be joining them. At 12:57 p.m., Tyson arrived to speak to the crowd and then award a male and female athlete from the school a scholarship named after his beloved late trainer and mentor, Cus D’Amato.

Lyles, who is the director of the Cus D’Amato KO Boxing Club, introduced Tyson to the crowd. After briefly speaking, Tyson awarded baseball player Demetrio Morales and basketball player Ava Edmond the scholarships. Following a photo session with Tyson for each recipient, the students were told to return to class. They quickly stormed out of the stands and surrounded Tyson, with many kids taking pictures with him. Students then returned to the stands for a group photo with Tyson standing in front of them.

“I am just very grateful to be part of this town. I have always been grateful,” Tyson said. “I have never been in a family environment before until I came to Catskill, New York. I never understood family life until I came to Catskill, New York.”

Tyson arrived in Catskill as a troubled youth after first attending the Tryon School for Boys in Johnstown at the age of 13. A juvenile detention officer named Bobby Stewart, a former boxer, recognized that Tyson had skills in the sport of boxing and introduced him to D’Amato.

“I started here with nothing. I started here fresh,” Tyson said.

Before long, D’Amato became Tyson’s legal guardian after the death of his mother. After enjoying success as an amateur fighter, Tyson made a meteoric rise as a professional boxer. D’Amato died in 1985, and one year later his prized pupil captured the World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight championship after knocking out Trevor Berbick on Nov. 22, 1986, in Las Vegas. At that time, Tyson was 20. He went on to add the World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Council (IBF) titles to his resume in 1987.

The ferocity of his knockouts and Tyson’s aura captivated boxing fans and made him one of the world’s most well-known athletes.

Tyson’s first title reign came to a crashing halt on Feb. 11, 1990, when Buster Douglas knocked him out in the 10th round in Tokyo, Japan. Douglas entered that fight as a 42-to-1 underdog, and it is considered one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.

In 1992, Tyson was convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in prison. He served three years before receiving probation. He made a comeback to boxing in 1995, and one year later joined Floyd Patterson (another fighter trained by D’Amato), Muhammad Ali, Tim Witherspoon, Evander Holyfield, and George Foreman as fighters who regained the heavyweight title.

Mike Tyson

He eventually stopped fighting in 2005 following a loss to Kevin McBride, but Tyson jumped back into the ring in November at age 58 and lost an eight-round decision to Jake Paul.

Tyson’s life has changed a great deal. He has been married for 16 years to his third wife, Lakiha ‘Kiki” Spicer, who was with him Friday. They live in Nevada.

It was evident on Friday that the adopted son of Catskill felt great joy presenting the scholarships to Morales and Edmond, and simply being in the school and community again. Tyson smiled constantly and soaked in the adulation from kids who had never seen him fight.

“I wanted to see my friends’ children and grandchildren,” Tyson said.

When reflecting on D’Amato, Tyson said, “Everything I do, I do in the name of Cus. … (He) gave me hope for a better life. I want to give my children a better life.”

Tyson added he has found peace, something he could not have imagined before arriving in Catskill.

“What I learned in life is to never give up. Life is constantly changing,” Tyson said. “Sometimes, the change is a benefit, so don’t ever give up. I have been down and up and down and up. I just never gave up, and now I am now living the best part of my life at 58 years old.”

UFC Fans Give Verdict on Mike Tyson, Francis Ngannou, and Others as ‘Hardest Hitter’ Debate Gets Finally Settled

Ever since boxing and the UFC began to share the spotlight, one debate has refused to die—who hits harder: boxers or UFC fighters? Now, that age-old argument seems to be nearing its conclusion, as fans deliver what feels like a final verdict. With heavy hitters like Mike TysonFrancis Ngannou, and others at the center of the discussion, the lines between the two sports have never been more sharply drawn.

This renewed spark in the debate began with a post by r/boxingcirclejerk on Reddit, where a curated list of knockout artists from both sports was shared, asking fans to weigh in. As opinions poured in, one side of the argument began to gain significant traction, possibly signaling the end of one of combat sports’ longest-running debates.

Boxing vs. UFC

r/boxingcirclejerk wrote, “Who hits harder, the average boxer or the average UFC fighter? George Foreman or Belal Muhammad, Earnie Shavers or Ben Askren, Wladimir Klitschko or Merab Dvalishvili, Joe Frazier or CM Punk, Mike Tyson or Sean Strickland, Marvin Hagler or Henry Cejudo.”

There’s no denying that every time a UFC fighter steps into a boxing ring, things usually don’t end well for them. Whether it’s Francis Ngannou taking on Anthony Joshua or Conor McGregor facing Floyd Mayweather, the result is often the same—the UFC star walks away with a loss and a face full of bruises.

On the flip side, boxers rarely dare to cross into the Octagon, with only a handful like Claressa Shields even attempting the transition. So when it comes to predicting who truly hits harder—a boxer or a UFC fighter—it ultimately falls to the fans to settle the score. And with both camps boasting devastating knockout artists, the debate is more heated than ever.

UFC fighters take the win—but do they?

Hours after the Reddit post, hundreds of users had shared their thoughts on the matter. One user took shots at the UFC fighters. The user wrote, “UFC fighters are built like they have iron deficiencies.” However, not all boxers are fit either. Take Tyson Fury as an example. Despite that, he is one of the greatest boxers of his era.

The next user boasted about Chael Sonnen’s superiority over boxers. “We all know Chael Sonnen would smoke any of those boxers. The living GOAT,” the user commented. Yet, Sonnen has never won a title in the UFC or Bellator.

Another user seemingly said something too outrageous to be taken seriously. “Ben Askren would KO Floyd Patterson with 1 hand tied behind his back,” the user wrote. Not only was Askren knocked out by Jake Paul, but he is also best known for his grappling skills, not knockout power.

Someone else echoed the same sentiment. “Oh, for sure, the average UFC fighter hands down, no question. Any one of those fighters listed would sleep any of those boxers, no doubt,” the user commented. If that’s the case, a fight between George Foreman and Belal Muhammad would have been a sight to behold.

Meanwhile, this user seemed to be a big fan of Francis Ngannou. “Bro you don’t get it, Ngannou could f**k up any hw ‘champion’ 😤,” the user wrote. However, as one response to this comment explained, Anthony Joshua knocked out Ngannou in one of the more brutal knockouts last year.

That said, it appears most of the supporters of UFC fighters made sarcastic comments rather than present an actual opinion. Despite that, sarcasm or not, UFC fighters seem to have won the debate. But do you agree with it?

The terrifying boxer now has someone he fears

Boxing legend Mike Tyson has heaped praise on newly-crowned WBC light-heavyweight champion David Benavidez, describing him as “underrated” and a formidable force in the division.

Tyson, widely considered one of the most fearsome heavyweights in boxing history, made the comments in a recent interview with ESNEWS.
