Early Life
Mike Tyson was born in Brooklyn, New York. His father was born and raised in North Carolina, where he was known to be among the neighborhood’s best baseball players.

He took part in a total of 15 fights in the first year, after which the quality of his competition increased and his winning streak started attracting media attention. However, after winning multiple championships, his boxing career started to see a decline. That’s when he decided to retire and indulge in other ventures.
