Mike Tyson has been pulled from retirement to fight in November on the back of two knockout defeats. A third is almost sure to follow. Despite being labeled ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ when he conquered the world as a 20-year-old phenom, Tyson hasn’t shown world-class ability since the late 1980s. Many overlook this disheartening fact as a YouTuber teamed with a streaming service to bring his followers a fight that is only a name for the poster and not a formidable opponent.
