51-year-old American boxer Mike Tyson has grabbed a spot on our listing. Also called “Iron Mike” and “Kid Dynamite,” Tyson is among the most important and most recognizable sports figures from the world. He’s the youngest man to win a brand-new title, which he did at the age of 20. Also, he is the primary heavyweight fighter to maintain the WBC, WBA and IBF name in precisely the same moment. Though notorious for turning into an ugly struggle that gave him the reputation of being considered as the scariest fighter or the worst guy on Earth; it cannot be avoided that Tyson understood exactly what he was doing and his contribution to the field is exemplary.
