How many times was Mike Tyson knocked out during his career?

Michael Gerard ‘Mike’ Tyson made his professional boxing debut, as an 18-year-old, on March 6, 1985 and the following November knocked out Trevor Berbick to become World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion. In his 58-fight career, ‘Iron Mike’ won 50 fights, 44 of them by knockout (KO), and became undisputed world heavyweight champion. However, he did lose six times, three times by knockout, twice by technical knockout and once by disqualification.

His first knockout came at the hands of the unheralded James ‘Buster’ Douglas on February 11, 1990. In one of the biggest shocks in modern sporting history, Douglas recovered from an eighth-round knockdown to knock out Tyson – who had never previously hit the canvas – early in the tenth round and bring his hitherto unbeaten record to an end. Although he suffered a surprising loss, by technical knockout (T-KO), to Evander Holyfield in November, 1996 and another, less surprisingly, by disqualification – after he bit Holyfield twice on his right ear, severely enough to remove part of it – in their rematch six months later, Tyson was only ever knocked out twice more.

In what became, ultimately, a one-sided contest against undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis on June 8, 2003, Tyson was eventually knocked down, and out, in the eighth round. The following July, facing debts of $38 million, Tyson returned to the ring for what proved to be the penultimate fight of his career against former British Commonwealth heavyweight champion Danny ‘The Brixton Bomber’ Williams. In the fourth round, Williams unleashed a flurry of unanswered punches, culminating with a huge right hand, which sent Tyson reeling. Tyson sat, dazed, on the canvas, leaning against the ropes and, although he did eventually try to get to his feet, was counted out.

It was thought that Tyson’s boxing career was over, and that he no longer had to worry about the risk of getting knocked out. He instead spent a lot of time granting interviews and promoting sportsbooks across the world. With boxing though, ‘retirement’ is an overused word/

He’s been named a global ambassador for Parimatch and Brazilian brand, BRBet. Previously, he also enjoyed a working relationship with American betting company DraftKings.

The brand is particularly for nice betting promotions for their customers. What really sets DraftKings apart is their referral bonus offer, which ranks amongst the best Sportsbook referral bonuses for bettors.

On November 15th 2024 in knock out news, Iron Mike steps out of retirement and enters the ring once again, fighting Youtube star turned boxer Jake Paul (boxing record 9-1). The fight will air live on Netflix and take place in the AT&T stadium in Arlington, Texas. Will Tyson risk facing a further KO by taking on the Youtuber, is will it be Jake Paul getting knocked out? It could be argued that the Paul brother has only fought has-beens, but at 58 years of age now, does Mike Tyson himself fall into that category? The betting odds are in favour of a Jake Paul win at present, and Mike Tyson’s last win by knock out (and indeed win!) was more than 20 years ago.
