    Michael "Iron Mike" Tyson had a legendary career as a heavyweight boxer, becoming the youngest heavyweight champion in history at age 20 by knocking out Trevor Berbick in the second round. However, his career declined after a major upset loss to Buster Douglas in 1990 where he was knocked out for the first time. Tyson's career and life were marred by controversies outside the ring, including being disqualified and banned for a year for biting Evander Holyfield's ear in their 1997 rematch. While very successful and wealthy at his peak, Tyson's post-boxing life involved legal and financial troubles.
