Seldon's next defense was scheduled against Tyson, who in early 1996 won the WBC title for a second time by knocking out Frank Bruno. The bout was originally to be a title unification fight, with both Seldon's WBA belt and Tyson's WBC belt at stake. However, the WBC mandated that Tyson defend his belt against former champion Lennox Lewis first.

  • "Mike" Tyson Years
    Name: Michael Gerard "Mike" Tyson Years: June 30, 1966 to Present Residence: Scottsdale, Arizona Brief Biography: “Iron” Mike Tyson was born in Brooklyn, New York on June 30th, 1966. After his father abandoned him and his mother passed away, Tyson was adopted by Cus D’Amato, a boxing manager and trainer. Tyson moved frequently around New York and was a trouble child at a young age. In fact, Tyson was already arrested 38 times by the age of thirteen. Tyson was introduced to boxing by Bobby Stewart, a former boxer and juvenile detention center counselor, in Johnstown, a town in Fulton County. Tyson went on to win a silver medal in the 1982 Junior Olympic Games, where he won every fight by knockout. The 16-year-old also set a world record by knocking out an opponent in a mere eight seconds. His professional career began in March 1985 in Albany, where he beat Hector Mercedes in a first round knockout. Tyson went on to win 26 of his first 28 fights by KO. His first nationally televised fight was in Troy in February 1985, where he knocked out Jesse Ferguson in six rounds. Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion ever in November 1986 when, at the age of 20, he captured the WBC heavyweight championship after knocking out Trevor Berbick in two rounds. In March 1987, Tyson added the WBA heavyweight championship to his résumé after defeating James Smith. Only five months later, Tyson became the undisputed heavyweight champion after capturing the IBF heavyweight championship from Tony Tucker in a twelve-round unanimous decision.

  • George Foreman from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    George Foreman From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia George Edward Foreman (born January 10, 1949)[1] is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1969 to 1977, and from 1987 to 1997. Nicknamed "Big George", he is a two-time world heavyweight champion and an Olympic gold George Foreman medalist. Outside the sport he went on to become an ordained minister, author and entrepreneur. After a troubled childhood, Foreman took up amateur boxing and won a gold medal in the heavyweight division at the 1968 Summer Olympics. Having turned professional the next year, he won the world heavyweight title with a second-round knockout of then-undefeated Joe Frazier in 1973. Two successful title defenses were made before Foreman's first professional loss to Muhammad Ali in "The Rumble in the Jungle" in 1974. Unable to secure another title opportunity, Foreman retired after a loss to Jimmy Young in 1977. Following what he referred to as a religious epiphany, Foreman became an ordained Christian minister. Ten years later, he announced a comeback and, in 1994, at age 45, he regained a portion of the heavyweight championship by knocking out 27-year-old Michael Moorer to win the unified WBA, IBF, and lineal titles. Foreman remains the oldest heavyweight champion in history, and the second oldest in any weight class after Bernard Hopkins (at light heavyweight). He retired in 1997 at the age of 48, with a final record of 76 wins 5 losses and 68 knockouts. Foreman has been inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame and the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
