Mike Tyson launches attack on steroid cheats in boxing and says it’s ‘attempted murder’ for fighters to use them

Tyson was far from his best by that point himself and would go on to lose his next two fights by KO. If the big money fight with Jones had been made at that point my pick would be Jones. Most attribute Jones’ sudden decline with the fact that he had to drop twenty-five pounds to get back down to the light-heavyweight limit, and Jones certainly alluded to issues making 175 again. “I have a lot of pain, and I just want to heal. And I’m going to do my best to do just that. One day at a time.”

Mike Tyson is certainly one of the greatest boxers of all time and he still gets compared to the current champions today. To think also, in most of Tyson’s fights he wasn’t fully prepared and in his best shape. It makes you think how potentially great he could of been as a fighter, if it wasn’t for his personal life affecting him as much as it did.

Mike Tyson has revealed exactly how he used a fake penis to avoid failing a drugs test during his boxing career. The Russian MMA fighter who last month said he would like to face Iron Mike said that kind of  body can “only” be obtained with steroids at his age. But purchasing anabolic steroids online Bellator heavyweight Kharitonov reckons the boxing icon’s impressive physique has not come naturally. Mike Tyson has admitted in his explosive autobiography that he was high on drugs during some of his fights – and even used a fake penis to fool dope testers.

The fight was originally targeted for March 25 but is now reportedly being looked at for May 5, the date of Cinco de Mayo weekend. WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman recently revealed to Express Sport that they are yet to tie down an official date and venue for the blockbuster showdown. Thankfully, this time it only inflicted a small injury with a scratch to his left ear.

It’s not when he passed away, Tyson wasn’t ever the same again, and he started to go down a dark road. Michael Gerard Tyson is an American former professional boxer born on the 30th June 1966. Tyson, who is also known as the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’, competed from 1985 to 2005 and was the youngest ever heavyweight to win a world title at just 20 years old. Tyson was an exceptionally talented boxer, and he had more fights than an average pro boxer, became a world champion and was a total knockout artist, but for many enthusiasts, he is not in their top 10 boxers of all time.

Two years ago, Yates released his autobiography, From the Shadow, which at the time I also reviewed when working solely for the Daily Express. ALMOST five years ago, I did the first major interview to appear in the national press with six-time Mr Olympia Dorian Yates. It is possible but I do not believe that scenario could ever have happened. The Jones that dominated John Ruiz was unarguably one of the greatest fighters ever.

Jones was 35 when he fought Tarver, a very advanced age for an athlete who relied so much on speed and reflexes. Another uglier factor to consider is that, in between the Ruiz and Tarver fights, Jones’ positive steroid test, from his 2000 fight with Richard Hall, came to light. There was eight months between the Ruiz and Tarver fights and boxers can seemingly get old almost overnight.

Like most boxing greats he was addicted to both the sport and the limelight. He didn’t retire until he was 49 years old and he boxed on way past his best. Yet the lovely scenario of Jones retiring with this near flawless boxing reputation would never have happened for two reasons.

Tyson is one of the best boxers ever, and depending on how you rank a fighter’s career, he could even be considered within the top boxers of all time. Tyson is one of our favourite fighters, for sure, and there is a lot of uncertainty as to how great his legacy could have been if his personal life didn’t intervene with his boxing career. Mike Tyson is one of the best-known athletes on the planet and the youngest boxer ever to win a heavyweight title, but he might be better known for his life outside the ring.
