Mike Tyson – one of the greatest legends in the world of boxing, but besides the glory in the ring, his life was also full of events. One of the darkest periods was the time Tyson had to live behind bars, where he faced the consequences of his own mistakes.

🌪️ The Fall of “Iron Mike”

In 1992, Mike Tyson was sentenced to 6 years in prison after being accused of sexual assault. At that time, Tyson was only 25 years old, at the peak of his career with the nickname “Iron Mike”, a boxer with a terrifying record: 41 wins – 36 knockouts. But instead of continuing to dominate the heavyweight division, he had to enter a completely different war – the war within the four walls of prison.

💥 Life Behind Bars
During his three years in prison at Indiana Prison, Tyson faced a completely different reality. No more bright lights of the ring, no more huge sums of money, instead there were days of solitude, times of contemplation about life.

However, his time in prison also helped Tyson change somewhat. He converted to Islam, changed his name to Malik Abdul Aziz, and trained his health and spirit to wait for the day of his return.

🔥 The Return and the Long Slip
In 1995, Mike Tyson was released early for good behavior. Returning to the ring, he won back the WBA and WBC belts in just 6 months, affirming his status as a legend. But the psychological trauma, scandals and financial problems continued to haunt him, causing his career to slide.

From biting Evander Holyfield’s ear in 1997 to going bankrupt in 2003, Mike Tyson remains a tragic and glorious icon of the boxing world.
