Mike Tyson's Revenge for Muhammad Ali: How He Got His Licks in

The beginning of the 80s marked the end of an entire era of the greatest Mohammed Ali. Two fights and two losses in a row, with the first fight, which took place in October 1980 against his former sparring partner Larry Holmes, ended before the bell in the 10th round.

The sunset of a career for any athlete is a difficult test. Age takes its toll, the body is completely exhausted over the years of training and fighting, and what it did before is now given with great difficulty, and in the case of Ali, Parkinson's disease has progressed.

Chapter 1. The Promise
In December 1981, Muhammad Ali fought his last fight in the professional ring against the strong and promising 27-year-old Canadian boxer Trevor Berbick.

This time Ali looked much better than in the fight with Holmes. However, despite this, Ali lost by unanimous decision in a 10-round bout. After this fight, Mohammed announced his retirement and never entered the professional ring again.

Meanwhile, in another part of the United States of America, a young black boy was preparing and training to the fullest, who a year earlier had promised The Greatest, during their private telephone conversation, to avenge him on his first abuser Larry Holmes. This guy was 15-year-old Mike Tyson.

Seeing the second defeat of his idol in a row, Mike went berserk and continued his way to the top with even greater enthusiasm...

At that moment, Mike Tyson decided not just to become a boxer, but to become the greatest of all time and take revenge on all Ali's offenders, and without bringing the fights to the final rounds.

It all ended unrealistically quickly, without even having time to really begin.
