    Jan 12 2026
    In Part 7 of our in-depth career profile on Mike Tyson, we pick up in the immediate aftermath of the shocking defeat to Buster Douglas—a loss that didn’t just end Tyson’s unbeaten run, but shattered his aura of invincibility. This episode tracks Tyson’s turbulent road back through comeback bouts with Henry Tillman and the brutal, career-defining wars with Donovan Ruddock, fights that revealed both flashes of the old menace and the growing cracks beneath the surface. From there, we confront the most pivotal and controversial chapter of Tyson’s life: his conviction for the rape of Desiree Washington. We examine how the case unfolded, the impact of the verdict on Tyson’s career and legacy, and how the boxing world reacted as its biggest star fell from grace. The episode also documents Tyson’s time in prison—what daily life was like, how incarceration changed him physically and mentally, and the stories that emerged from those years away from the ring.

    Dec 5 2025
    In Part Six of the Mike Tyson career profile, we enter one of the most dramatic chapters in the life of the youngest heavyweight champion in history. This segment covers the peak of Tyson’s dominance inside the ring—alongside the chaos that began to consume his world outside of it. The episode opens with Tyson’s explosive showdown against Michael Spinks, a fight built up as the ultimate test for the undefeated champion. In just 91 unforgettable seconds, Tyson demolished Spinks, cementing his position as the most feared boxer on the planet. We also revisit his bout with Tony Tubbs in Tokyo—a fight that at the time seemed routine, but in hindsight foreshadowed a darker future. Away from the spotlight of arenas and title belts, Tyson’s life was spiraling. His tumultuous marriage to Robin Givens, marked by public conflict and media scrutiny, became a national spectacle. The death of mentor and manager Jim Jacobs—one of the last stabilizing forces in Mike’s life—left a void that would never be filled. With Don King beginning to exert influence, friendships fractured and discipline faded. This part concludes with the night that shook the boxing world: February 11, 1990. Tyson vs. Buster Douglas in Tokyo—where the unstoppable champion was finally brought crashing to earth. Through a mix of behind-the-scenes turmoil, loss of focus, and an inspired challenger, Iron Mike suffered one of the greatest upsets in sports history. Learn more about your ad choices.
