Mike Tyson's most underrated KO of his career was revenge for Muhammad Ali
Fury vs Usyk agreed: WBA confirms fight is still alive after Ukrainian accepts 70/30 splitTyson Fury breaks silence and makes public offer to Oleksandr Usyk'F*** off' - Hearn slams Fury over his involvement in negotiations for a fight with UsykAdvertisement
But only one man looked right on the night in Atlantic City. Tyson punched a hole in his dressing room wall pre-fight and emerged without music and bare-chested, striding to the ring with his unmistakable black trunks, socks and boots. Tyson broke through with a sledgehammer right hand that sent Holmes flat on his back. The 17 years older boxer got up, as he always did – Holmes’s powers of recovery were legendary – but on rubbery legs. He tried to cover up and to fire back but neither tactic worked. A combination sent Holmes down for a second time.Displaying tremendous heart, Holmes got up a third time and almost made it to the end of the round.
But in seeing Holmes off in style, Tyson had fulfilled his vow to Ali – and also beaten both of the fighters who defeated ‘The Greatest’ at the tail end of his career, as Tyson had already blasted through Berbick.
