Mike Tyson versus Jesse Ferguson. February 16th, 1986, heavyweight bowed, crowd of 7,500 people at the Houston Fieldhouse on the Rensler Polytechnic Institute campus in Troy, New York. The fight also aired on ABC's wide world of sports. Tyson's national TV debut, heavyweight boxing prodigy, Mike Tyson in this moment is still a

teenager.

He's only 19, but his mind is old.

He's 5.10, which is taller than I thought.

Born in Fort Green, Brooklyn, raised in Brownsville, a crime-oriented upbringing.

Let's say, he once boasted by the time I was 12, I had already

been locked up over 38 times. Juvenile detention center was like cheers. There, everyone knew my name,

His most popular recent tweet is,

They don't bother no one.
