Top 10 Mike Tyson Moments
Mike Tyson gets a chance to tell his life story on his own terms when the documentary Tyson is released on April 24. TIME takes a look back at 10 highs and lows from the heavyweight fighter's dramatic career.
Thrown after his heavyweight loss to Lewis, Tyson tried one final run at a title. The road ran through Clifford Etienne. Before their 2003 bout in Memphis, Tyson was dogged with questions about his fitness and dedication. Instead of retreating to the gym to re-sculpt his "Iron Mike" physique, however, Tyson opted for unorthodox means of preparation: getting a tat.
But it wasn't just any tattoo it was a massive "warrior" design that devoured the left side of his face. For a pop culture chronicler, it was manna from heaven; Tyson's tat might be the most mocked in history. Still, maybe it really did help him channel that inner warrior. Tyson knocked out Etienne in under a minute, notching his last career victory.
