Mike Gerard Tyson is a former professional boxer, heavyweight champion and actor. Born on June 30, 1966 in Brooklyn, New York, he lived in high-crime neighborhoods where he often got in fights. This led him to be discovered by juvenile detention counselor and former boxer, Bobby Stewart, who saw his potential and trained him for months. At the age of 18, Tyson made his boxing debut and continued fighting professionally until his retirement in 2006. He has made several appearances in both American and Chinese films, including the 2018 'Hangover' inspired film 'Girls Vs. Gangsters.'
