Mike was fascinating because of the exceptional manner in which he boxed, the crazy things he did and said outside and inside of the ring and the absolute controversy surrounding his life. I couldn’t stay up, I was young so my brother said “drink black coffee”, I hated coffee but I drank some, it was disgusting and I still couldn’t stay up, I went to bed and he woke me up at 4am and I still didn’t get up for the fight. I remember there was a Tyson fight coming on pay per view which was expensive and people used to get annoyed because they would have to stay up till 4am and watch all these bum 12 rounder fights to get to Mikes fight and he would KO the guy within the first minute. It was at its height with these famous heavyweight titans and Mike was the best most dynamic and interesting of all. I used to watch boxing back in the day because I wanted to spend time with my brother, he would watch all these sports like Formula One Racing and I did also because I wanted to be with him. I’m a fan of boxing, more so back in his times then now and I also enjoy boxing myself. Mike Tyson is my absolute favourite boxer of all time.
