“Iron” Mike Tyson is a cult two -time hefty world champion who set the boxing world in the ambulance in the mid -1980s, when he destroyed the entire division at the age of 21.

In the first 37 fights of his professional career, the elite head of Tyson, the speed and power of the impact made him look invincible. Currently, social media make Tyson look invincible with the term they operate, known as “Prime Mike Tyson”.

Brownsville Brooklyn in Modern York, Mike Tyson, won its first nineteen professional fights with knockout. On November 22, 1986, at the age of 20, Mike Tyson detained Trevor Berbicka in the second round and won the title of WBC World Heavyweight.

Four months later, Tyson overtook James “Bonecrusher” Smith and won the WBA belt. On August 1, 1987, Mike Tyson defeated IBF Master Tony Tucker by way of a unanimous decision and became the undisputed hefty world champion.

Mike Tyson would reign Supreme when he successfully defended his undisputed crown six times. Tyson went to Tokyo, Japan and unfortunately would be hit with a dose of humiliation.

On February 11, 1990, Mike Tyson defended his undisputed title against 42-1 Underdog James “Buster” Douglas. The fans were shocked when Douglas dominated Tyson during the first seven rounds.

In the 8th round of Mike Tyson downed Buster Douglas when he joined with a solid upper, upper. Douglas got up, and in the 10th round Douglas landed in the destructive mountains, and then a combination of three strokes, which sent Tyson to canvas.

Then came the unforgettable picture of Tyson on the hands and knees looking for a mouthpiece. After locating the mouthpiece, Mike Tyson tried to get up, but he did not defeat the count.

After solving the legal problem, Tyson jumped and became a heavyweight champion twice, but the intimidation factor was not at the same level. Quick forward to this day, and the intimidation level of Tyson is preserved by the term “Prime Mike Tyson”.

In the world of social media, Prime Mike Tyson is a boxer who can overcome any weight in the previous era or in the current era. Prime Mike Tyson is so good that he can avenge Tyson’s losses with Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis.

When the world of social media still directs Mike Tyson’s main narrative, many hardcore fans ask the question, what exactly is the main Mike Tyson? Fans who followed Tyson through their entire career ask this question because Mike Tyson lost Buster Douglas when he was only 23 years ancient.

Considering this, Prime Mike Tyson had to come from 1986–1989. During this period, Mike Tyson is not unquestioned when he published a record (22-0, 18 KO). Tyson seemed invincible, but this is because his level of competition was good, but not great.

The best victories of Tyson over the named opponents took place when he defeated 38-year-old Larry Holmes in January 1988 and 31-year-old Michael Spinks in June the same year. Later in his boxing career, when he faced the boxers of his era, Tyson was detained both by Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis.

Thanks to the social media of the victory achieved by both Holyfield and Lewis, they were minimized due to the fact that people often perform positions in which he states that the main Mike Tyson would defeat both Holyfield and Lewis.

This shot is not right, because Mike Tyson 1986-89 did not lose, but some of his disadvantages began to go to airy. Not intimidating, a coherent stab, good sense of time and an effective blow, there were some of the key elements needed to succeed against Mike Tyson.

When you talk about great hefty all time, the list should include the “iron” Hall of Famer Mike Tyson. However, giving him the nickname “Prime Mike Tyson” and publishing, he would defeat his former opponents, and all hefty from the seventies is somewhat absurd.

Canelo Alvarez addresses his retirement plan

Canelo Alvarez talked about how long he could stay in the sport before hanging up his gloves and opting for a decorated career.

The 35-year-old is already destined for a place in the Hall of Fame, as he became a four-division world champion, but he still wants to compete at the highest level.

Since his professional debut in 2005, the Mexican has made 68 appearances and has twice become the undisputed king of the 168-pound division, scoring notable victories over the likes of Callum Smith and Caleb Plant.

However, his most critical victory came in the middleweight division, where Alvarez made a very controversial decision by majority vote in a rematch with Gennady Golovkin in 2018.

More controversial was their first meeting a year earlier, when many felt Golovkin had done enough to claim a convincing victory and the Kazakhstan ended in a draw.

Still, Canelo received plenty of credit for his follow-up triumph before dethroning Sergei Kovalev to capture the WBO featherlight heavyweight title over a year later.

Alvarez’s second undisputed super middleweight reign came to an end last September when Terence Crawford moved up two weight classes and won a unanimous decision.

But Canelo explained anyway Froch About the fight that he can still compete for another two years, maybe even longer, depending on how often his opportunities come along.

“I don’t know. I think maybe two years. I don’t need it, [but] I still enjoy it. If I [fight] maybe once a year [I can go on] a little bit [longer].

“Once a year to rest my body, I think I can fight more [than two years]”

Although an official announcement has not yet been made, Canelo is scheduled to fight in Riyad, Saudi Arabia this September, and Turki Alalshikh has promised to fight for the world title.

Boxing’s worst kept secret has now been confirmed – Naoya Inoue (32-0, 27 KO) and Junto Nakatani (32-0, 24 KO) will meet on May 2 at the Tokyo Dome for Inoue’s undisputed junior featherweight championship.

The all-Japan clash was formally announced at a press conference in Japan. The fight will be broadcast live on Lemino pay-per-view; US distribution rights have not yet been announced.

Inoue – ESPN’s No. 2 pound-for-pound boxer – is coming off an impressive 2025 in which he competed four times, defeating Kim Ye-Joon, Ramon Cardenas, Murodjon Akhmadaliev and David Picasso. Thanks to Inoue’s unanimous decision victory over Picasso in December, Nakatani defeated Sebastian Hernandez in the second fight of the night in a tougher-than-expected fight. Their victories set up a long-awaited clash between two of Japan’s best players.

Nakatani is ranked No. 6 pound-for-pound by ESPN and will look to become a four-division champion after winning world titles at bantamweight, junior bantamweight and flyweight. Although Nakatani narrowly won his junior featherweight debut in a grueling fight against Hernandez, Nakatani proved he was one of the best fighters in the world and had a powerful showing in 2025, winning 3-0.

The Undercard will feature Inoue’s younger brother Takuma defending his WBC bantamweight title against former four-division titleholder Kazuto Ioka.

Dan Rafael says IBF president opposed Jai Opetaia Presser

Image: Dan Rafael: IBF President Felt Disrespected By Belt Display At Opetaia Presser

Jai Opetai’s fight against Brandon Glanton is still moving forward, but veteran reporter Dan Rafael says the issue that caused the IBF title to be removed from the fight had to do with how the belt was presented during fight week. Rafael reported that IBF president Daryl Peoples believes that the organization’s title was shown as secondary to Zuffa’s belt during a recent press conference.

This explanation makes the argument about the presentation rather than the match itself. Rafael wrote that Peoples objected to the way the belts were arranged at the press, with Zuffa’s belt posed for the cameras while Opetaia held the IBF title rather than raising it in the usual manner towards the audience.


“The IBF withdrew sanctions and sent the overseer home after the journalist because IBF President Daryl Peoples felt disrespected by the belt being placed secondary to Zuffa’s,” Rafael wrote on social media.

Fight week photos reflect the arrangement Rafael described. At the final press conference on Friday, Zuffa’s belt was centered and Opetaia held the red IBF title at his side. Saturday’s weigh-in had a similar effect. Zuffa’s belt was raised over the fighters on the restart, while Opetaia continued to hold the IBF Championship on his chest. This sequence appears to have irritated the sanctioning authority.

Rafael also reported another unusual detail related to the fight. Even after the IBF dropped its sanctions, Opetai and Glanton were still expected to adhere to IBF weight rules ahead of the morning fight. Rafael said that no competitor can weigh more than ten pounds over the cruiserweight weight limit of 200.

Rafael later noticed that the IBF belt continued to appear in promotion for the event. Opetaia held the title at media events and discussed it publicly, and graphics broadcast by Zuffa covered the championship. Rafael’s account points to the dispute that raged over Zuffa’s title belt relationship during press events.

Opetaia entered fight week as the IBF cruiserweight champion after regaining the belt in a rematch victory over Mairis Briedis in 2024. The Australian continues to wear the physical belt while promoting his fight against Glanton. Once he steps into the ring and takes part in an unsanctioned fight, the IBF Championship will no longer move forward with him.

The fight remains scheduled, and reports from Rafael indicate that the split was due to belt politics and presentations at public events. The episode shows how rigorously sanctioning bodies guard the status of their championships as modern promoters introduce competitive titles.
