Michael Gerard Tyson (New York, June 30, 1966), also known as Malik Abdul Aziz,6?7? is an American former boxer. He won the world heavyweight title twice in the 1980s and is the youngest boxer in history to win a world heavyweight title when on November 22, 1986 he won the WBC title against Trevor Berbick , at only 20 years, 4 months and 22 days. Later he would manage to unify all the crowns against the champions James Smith (WBA) and Tony Tucker (IBF), being defeated, after several defenses, by James "Buster" Douglas in 1990. In 1992 he was imprisoned for the rape of Desiree Washington, an 18-year-old model. On March 26, he was sentenced to 10 years, 6 in prison and 4 on probation. He was released for good behavior in March 1995, returning to the ring that same year. He won the world title again in 1996, but lost it to Evander Holyfield a few months later. In 1997, in the rematch against Holyfield, he tore off a piece of his opponent's right ear, and after being warned by the referee and trying to bite him again, he was disqualified and banned for twelve months. He continued fighting and at the age of 35 he returned to fight for the world title against Lennox Lewis, but was defeated, retiring three years later. In 2003 he declared bankruptcy after having earned $30 million in some of his fights and around $300 million in his career as a whole.
