MIKE TYSON FINALLY REVEALS THE PUNCH THAT SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING

Mike Tyson's legendary career saw him become the youngest heavyweight champ at 20. He faced greats like Holyfield & Lewis, but named Donovan "Razor" Ruddock as his hardest-hitting opponent. Discover Tyson's comeback fights and life after boxing.

In the past, Mike Tyson was well-known for his fierce speed and strength in the boxing ring. In 1986, at the age of 20 years and 145 days, he defeated Trevor Berbick to capture the WBC heavyweight title in his 28th fight, making him the youngest fighter in history to do so.

After defeating James "Bonecrusher" Smith to win the WBA heavyweight title, Iron Mike defeated Tony Tucker to capture the IBF title and become the undisputed champion at the age of 21.


The Notable Boxing Career of Mike Tyson


There were plenty of heavy-hitters during the heyday of heavyweight boxing, which Tyson fought in. The greatest of them, including Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield, and Lennox Lewis, were in the same ring as him. Iron Mike's career began with a 19-fight knockout streak, propelling the Brooklyn-born boxer into the record books and dominating the heavyweight scene before suffering a shocking knockout loss to James "Buster" Douglas in Tokyo.

Even though he had been knocked out by Douglas, Lewis, and Danny Williams, Tyson acknowledged that a different opponent had struck him the hardest: Donovan "Razor" Ruddock, a Canadian, boxed Iron Mike for 19 rounds over two matches. Known for being heavy-handed, the hard-hitting Canadian is likely the reason Tyson labelled him the man who made him feel "numb" when he experienced his strength.

Tyson recalled the strength in Ruddock's gloves and thought back on his previous opponents in a CNN interview, saying: "Yes, Ray Ruddock … You are referring to that moment when you thought,' Whoa." When you are struck, the pain stops. It is simply numb. Bong, you just heard the bell ring.

Ruddock, who was born in Jamaica, had a streak of infamous knockout wins, the most well-known of which may have been against Michael Dokes. Ruddock used two crushing left hooks to knock his opponent down after a haymaker propped Dokes still on the ropes. In addition to winning the WBA intercontinental championship that evening, Ruddock would go on to win the IBC heavyweight title in 1992 after knocking out Phil Jackson in Cleveland, Ohio.

Mike Tyson's Comeback to Boxing and Upcoming Battles


In November of last year, Tyson briefly returned to the ring when he faced YouTuber Jake Paul in an exhibition match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. After eight rounds of fighting, Paul won by unanimous decision against Tyson. Iron Mike's career in boxing is also far from over, as he will return to the ring in spring 2026 to take on Floyd Mayweather Jr. in another exhibition bout at an undetermined location.

Fortunately, Tyson no longer has to contend with opponents that possess the strength of Donovan Ruddock. He now enjoys a semi-retired lifestyle from fighting while concentrating on his company, Carma HoldCo, which specialises in cannabis products and promotes the legalisation of marijuana. Iron Mike Tyson has not completely died in boxing yet, so the allure of the glitz and glamour surrounding the big nights is still too strong for the former champion to ignore.

RYAN GARCIA VS MARIO BARRIOS TITLE FIGHT GAINING SERIOUS MOMENTUM

Ryan Garcia could challenge WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios next, according to Barrios' trainer. Preliminary talks are underway for the high-profile 2026 showdown, a quick route back to a title for Garcia.

According to Barrios' trainer Bob Santos, the bout is "going in that route," meaning Ryan Garcia may soon be facing WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios across the ring.

Santos indicated in an exclusive interview with World Boxing News that preliminary discussions had been held and that both sides are amenable to bringing the fight to fruition.

Garcia vs. Barrios: Verified Conversations


"It appears that everything is moving in that direction," Santos told WBN. Naturally, though, Al Haymon and Luis DeCubas Jr. have the last word. On their end, Golden Boy and Ryan have different ideas.

The fight stands out because of Garcia's drive, which was billed as a desperate move after his career took a plunge after losing to Gervonta Davis. The event's bite comes from the Golden Boy star's ability to demand a title opportunity following a loss and a one-year suspension.

Garcia, who lost to Rolando “Rolly” Romero at the Riyadh Season New York show in May, would be vying for his second world title since stepping up in weight. Garcia's initial welterweight momentum was halted by the loss, but a fight with Barrios would be the perfect next step and a quick path back to title contention.

However, following a contentious draw with Manny Pacquiao in July, Barrios kept his WBC belt. Although this outcome maintained him undefeated at the weight, it caused a great deal of controversy among commentators and fans. The Texan champion has always expressed a desire for a significant crossover matchup, and Garcia's name is ideal for a high-profile WBC championship defence against Mario Barrios.

If both sides agree on the broadcast parameters for 2026, an official ruling in Garcia v. Barrios could be made before the year is over.

Garcia vs. Barrios would be among the most marketable bouts on the schedule due to the possible participation of Golden Boy Promotions on one side and Premier Boxing Champions on the other.

Everything is set up for a huge fight that might define the careers of both men: two independent stars and one green belt.
