Mike Tyson record that will never be beaten

Mike Tyson WBN Still the Baddest

Mike Tyson is the youngest heavyweight champion in history after breaking the division in the mid -eighties.

This is a reference point that no one will ever break, despite the next two attempts to fail.

From the debut in March 1985 to the tough Trevor Berbicka to the heavyweight title WBC on November 22, 1986, Tyson recorded 25 knockouts in 27 wins.

Within 20 months, Tyson won 15 wins in 1985 and 12 in the next, breaking another record for the most wins in one year.

After 20 years, 4 months and 22 days, “iron” Mike Tyson had the opportunity to break the reference point of Floyd Patterson.

Patterson’s record of 21 years, 10 months and 26 days lasted almost exactly thirty years, when Tyson destroyed Berbicka in less than two rounds at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas.

Tyson claimed it himself with time frames, which seems impossible to overcome.

Two British heavyweight boxers had a gallon to claim that they would overcome the indestructible feat over the last decade. They are Hughie Fury and Moses Ituma.

Hughie, Cousin of Tyson Fury, boldly applied during his heavyweight in 2013. After winning 12 duels in 2013, Fura’s father, Peter, was sure that his son landed on achievement.

At the beginning of 2014, when the inactivity, illness and injuries established, Peter told WBN that Hugh’s intention is not beyond the table now.

“Hughie tried to best win the title of world champion, but the way it is in the heavyweight ward is very slim,” said Peter World Boxing News.

“If he has a chance to fight for the title of world champion, he certainly comes in, but talking about the fact that Hughie breaks, that the record (Mike Tyson) is best to sleep.”

Fury fought only eight times in the next three years and eventually lost to Joseph Parker for the title in the majority decision at 23.

Ituma, who became a professional in 2023, escaped almost immediately, conducting a campaign only seven times in his first full year.

Despite the fact that they have been knocking almost everyone since then, Ituma was not able to determine the names needed to gain experience to challenge the title.

There is also a diminutive thing that the pound king was a champion and owner of three of the four titles with which you can deal with it.

To be truthful, Tyson had hardly objected to Ituma during his run, and even the title of world champion at that time was the best of a bad group.

Usyk is great all time and will soon have all the belts in his possession. At the moment, Ituma is around the fifth or sixth in the queue to the throne and will push 22 or 23 before it is able to land with a crack in the crown of the division.

Talking recently with Steve Bunce and BBC, Ituma admitted that Tyson can keep the record forever.

“When I became a professional, it was about chasing this album. Now, when the album is out of books, I just try not to hurry with it,” said Bunce Ituma.

“During the first two months of being a professional, I realized that the goal was impossible. I was naive when I said that. I said it before I became a professional.

“I did not realize how much you can not control in this boxing game. You think that since I became a professional, the world champions were Daniel Dubois, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.

“In two years there is no way to decide to fight them,” he added.

Despite the fact that Ituma said that he is not ready for Dubois now, some believe that Puncher born in Slovakia would eliminate “DDD”.

When Usyk inflicts another loss to the London, Promoter Frank Warren will undoubtedly see the logic in the fight against Dubois against Ituma in 2026.

The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.

Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.

Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.

“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.

It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.

“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”

Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.

Posting on social mediaPaul praised AJ for earning the win, after returning to action following the tragic car crash he was involved in at the end of last year which took the lives of his two close friends.

“Happy for Joshua with that win after all he’s been through. Remembering Sina and Latz with this one.”

The win for Joshua should now tee up for meeting with Fury later this year, after ‘The Gypsy King’ held up his end of the bargain by also securing a win in his warm-up bout on Friday, securing a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach.

Tony Bellew Reviews Anthony Joshua's Comeback Victory Over Kristian Prenga After Knockdown Drama

Anthony Joshua may have earned a knockout win over Kristian Prenga but the fight certainly didn’t unfold as most people expected.

Joshua was facing the Albanian in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, and it looked like a massive upset could be on the cards when he was dropped twice in the opening round.

‘AJ’ was able to recover and went on to secure a second round knockout victory to prevent the shock lossseemingly paving the way for the battle against Tyson Fury later this year.

One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.

“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.

“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.

“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”

The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
