Then, the 21-year-old Tyson won by technical knockout in the fourth round, defending the title of absolute champion. Holmes suffered the third loss of his career.
“What knockout am I most proud of? The knockout against Larry Holmes. He outboxed Muhammad Ali six years before I cried. And I said I have to get revenge,” Tyson told the Daily Mail.
Let’s remember that Mike Tyson used to criticize modern heavyweight boxers.
