]]> BTR Boxing Podcast Network beyondtheropesboxingpodcast@gmail.com Mike Tyson (Part IX) The final chapter of the most turbulent career boxing has ever seen. In Part 9 of our Mike Tyson Career Profile, we take the story from 1999 right through to 2024 — the end of his fighting days, the depths of his personal collapse, and the unlikely rebirth that followed. We cover Tyson’s last years as an active heavyweight, including the Lennox Lewis fight, the decline inside the ring, and the moments where the legend and the reality finally collided. From mounting losses and legal trouble to financial ruin and public ridicule, this is the period where the myth of “Iron Mike” was stripped bare. But it doesn’t end there. We also explore Tyson’s gradual return to the public eye — his self-reflection, cultural reappraisal, and transformation from cautionary tale to unlikely elder statesman of the sport. From documentaries and interviews to his controversial return to the ring decades later, this episode examines how Tyson reclaimed control of his own narrative. This is not just the end of a boxing career — it’s the story of survival, accountability, and legacy. One man. One life. No mythology left untouched.

Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Wilfred "Wilfredo" Benítez (born September 12, 1958) is an American-born Puerto Rican former professional boxer and the fifth king of the ‘Four Kings’ era, used a fake ID to turn pro, and was younger than Mike Tyson when he became a world champion!

He became the youngest world champion in the sport's history. Earning his first of three career world titles in separate weight divisions at the age of seventeen, he is best remembered as a skilled and aggressive fighter with exceptional defensive abilities.

We present the story of "El Radar" and how early introduction to boxing on the grounds of PS 124 would forge the skills that would develop the young Benitez into one of boxing's legendary fighters.
