Mike Tyson Birthday: Top 5 Post Retirement Moments
Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr
With an impressive professional record of 50-6, Mike Tyson still holds the title of the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history. In 2020, at the age of 54, Tyson made a remarkable return to the ring in an exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr. This inspired several other retired fighters to follow suit and make comebacks of their own.
Although the fight with Jones Jr. was an exhibition and no winner was officially declared, Tyson looked like the superior fighter throughout the contest. As a result, the WBC awarded both boxers honorary titles. Following his comeback, Tyson expressed his desire to participate in more exhibitions and even hinted at a potential trilogy with Evander Holyfield or a rematch against Lennox Lewis. And it tops the best moments after retirement.
Muhammad Ali meets Mike Tyson
In 2013, a documentary titled “Being: Mike Tyson” featured a captivating episode where the boxing legend reflected on his own legacy and connected with other greats who came before him. One of the most memorable moments from the episode was when Tyson paid tribute to another boxing icon, Muhammad Ali.
Biting Ears Of Hasbulla
The internet has been abuzz with a bizarre and viral video showing social media sensation Hasbulla punching Mike Tyson, followed by Tyson playfully nibbling on Hasbulla’s ear. This strange incident has drawn comparisons to Tyson’s infamous disqualification during his fight against Evander Holyfield, where he also bit off a piece of Holyfield’s ear after losing the first fight due to a stoppage in the 11th round.
The video that has taken the internet by storm shows Hasbulla throwing punches at Mike Tyson, causing the former heavyweight champion to cover his face in defense. However, Tyson quickly turned the situation into a playful one, lifting Hasbulla up like a child and humorously pretending to nibble on his ear. This light-hearted moment between the two has become the talk of the town, with Tyson’s fans and followers sharing and commenting on the video across social media platforms.
Hangover Appearance
One of the most iconic comedic scenes in movie history is undoubtedly the moment in The Hangover when the characters realize they are in Mike Tyson’s house. The absurdity of the situation is already unsettling, but the rumor that Tyson keeps a tiger as a pet adds an extra layer of strangeness to the scene.
The brilliance of the script is evident as Tyson himself appears, looking bewildered at first, before eventually joining in on the hilarity. It’s a moment that will forever be remembered as the pinnacle of Tyson’s memorable appearances in his illustrious career. The scene perfectly captures Tyson’s larger-than-life persona and his ability to make light of even the most unusual situations.

The two were often seen together smoking, which may not be seen as a positive thing to some, but the fact that Tyson was working alongside a WWE legend added an interesting layer to their friendship. Despite their controversial activities, their partnership was undoubtedly a unique and intriguing collaboration that captured the attention of fans across various industries.
