Michael Gerard Tyson was born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York. In 1986, at age 20, he became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history. He unified the division, finished his main professional career in 2005 and entered the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011.
Tyson followed a vegetarian and then vegan diet for part of the 2010s, but later said he had resumed eating meat. The old article incorrectly presented veganism as current, linked it to his daughter’s death without reliable support and claimed it resolved blood pressure and anger problems. Those causal and medical claims were removed.
In November 2024, Tyson returned for a sanctioned eight-round bout against Jake Paul and lost by unanimous decision, bringing his professional record to 50 wins, 7 losses and 44 knockouts. The updated profile replaces stigmatizing labels about violence, addiction and mental state with a factual career summary.
