What's New With Mike Tyson?

I find it hard to comprehend that Mike Tyson was at one time the most feared heavyweight in the sport of boxing. In recent years, whether it be one of his expletive laced rants or his facial tatoo, Tyson's life has turned into a complete circus. Oddly enough, it was a Mike Tyson fight that actually got me interested in boxing. I was sitting at home one night with nothing to do, when I remembered that I had read in the newspaper earlier that morning that Mike Tyson was having a comeback fight against journeyman, Danny Williams. With lack of better options I decided to buy the pay-per-view fight and call some of my friends up to come watch it. The fight ended up being highly entertaining with Williams managing to pull off a come from behind victory. Another subsequent loss to Kevin McBride essentially ended Tyson's professional career.



On December 29, 2006 Mike Tyson's life hit another low, when he was arrested because of a possible DUI and felony drug possession. Tyson admitted that he was a drug addict and that he would begin pursuing rehabilitation. Other than this arrest, Tyson has remained out of the public eye. However, ESPN's show E: 60 will bring the spotlight back to Tyson, in its special covering the ex-figher's court ordered sobriety at 7 P.M. Tuesday night. It should be an interesting look into the life of one of the most infamous athletes in history.
