Derek “War” Chisora goes the distance one last time… but it’s Deontay Wilder who closes the book on his career.

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 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.

Career Profiles - Mike Tyson (Part VI)

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 00:01:00 -0000

In Part Six of the Mike Tyson career profile, we enter one of the most dramatic chapters in the life of the youngest heavyweight champion in history. This segment covers the peak of Tyson’s dominance inside the ring—alongside the chaos that began to consume his world outside of it.

The episode opens with Tyson’s explosive showdown against Michael Spinks, a fight built up as the ultimate test for the undefeated champion. In just 91 unforgettable seconds, Tyson demolished Spinks, cementing his position as the most feared boxer on the planet. We also revisit his bout with Tony Tubbs in Tokyo—a fight that at the time seemed routine, but in hindsight foreshadowed a darker future.

Away from the spotlight of arenas and title belts, Tyson’s life was spiraling. His tumultuous marriage to Robin Givens, marked by public conflict and media scrutiny, became a national spectacle. The death of mentor and manager Jim Jacobs—one of the last stabilizing forces in Mike’s life—left a void that would never be filled. With Don King beginning to exert influence, friendships fractured and discipline faded.

This part concludes with the night that shook the boxing world: February 11, 1990. Tyson vs. Buster Douglas in Tokyo—where the unstoppable champion was finally brought crashing to earth. Through a mix of behind-the-scenes turmoil, loss of focus, and an inspired challenger, Iron Mike suffered one of the greatest upsets in sports history.

Career Profiles - Mike Tyson (Part II)

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 23:00:00 -0000

In the second installment of The Mike Tyson Career Profile, we dive into the raw, formative years of a young fighter destined for greatness. From the gritty gyms of Catskill, New York, under the watchful eye of legendary trainer Cus D’Amato, Tyson rapidly rose through the amateur boxing ranks. His explosive power and relentless aggression made him a standout in the junior circuits, culminating in national titles and high hopes for Olympic gold.

Legendary Nights S4 E10 - The Tale Of Jack Johnson vs James J Jeffries

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 12:00:00 -0000

In 1910, Jack Johnson and James J. Jeffries clashed in Reno, Nevada to contest the world heavyweight crown in what was then billed as “The Fight of the Century.” At stake was far more than a mere boxing championship, as the black Johnson, having taken the belt from Canadian Tommy Burns in 1908, was thought by the white public in America to be wholly unfit to hold the title. Jeffries, an undefeated former champion and the most legitimate “Great White Hope,” had been repeatedly summoned to return to boxing so he could defeat the brash Johnson and reinstate the white man’s rightful place atop the athletic hierarchy. His quest would prove fruitless, but the legendary Johnson vs Jeffries match, with its buildup and aftermath, was a genuine sensation and social phenomenon, an event that galvanized the public while reflecting the hateful ideologies of the age

It took just three words from Mark Kaylor to take this rivalry to heights not seen in the UK before or since, as the racial tensions in society boiled over into the build-up of what was to be an explosive fight that was a grim reflection of society at the time.

Legendary Nights S4 E3 - The Tale Of Riddick Bowe vs Andrew Golota

Mon, 08 Jan 2024 12:00:00 -0000

There was a moment some 25 years ago when Lou Duva once again believed he had the best heavyweight in the world – but only, he said, if fights were fought in the street and not the ring. The heavyweight in question was Andrew Golota, a talented but troubled Pole who, in 1996, fought Riddick Bowe twice and conspired to lose both fights when in a winning position. Duva, Golota’s head coach at the time, watched helplessly from the corner on both occasions and struggled to understand how Golota had fouled his way to consecutive disqualification defeats. All he knew for certain was this: no two fights better exemplified how boxing is as much a battle of the mind as the body.

Sean & Johnston guide you through the polarising boxing careers' detailing moments that would act as a prelude to what the two fights in 1996 would provide in The Tale of Riddick Bowe vs Andrew Golota.

Legendary Nights S4 E1 - The Tale Of Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 12:00:00 -0000

Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson, billed as Lewis–Tyson: Is On, was a heavyweight professional boxing match that took place on June 8, 2002, at the Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tennessee.

Lennox Lewis was a promising 18-year-old amateur and Mike Tyson a precocious 17-year-old, when Lewis and his amateur coach Arnie Boehm were invited by Cus D’Amato to join he, Tyson, and Kevin Rooney for eight days of training and sparring in the Catskills in up state New York. Those eight days in the Catskills would forge the path that both Lewis & Tyson would eventually collide on, but not before each facing adversity along the way

In this episode, we pick up the careers of Lewis & Tyson in 1995 and present the events that would ultimately lead to their 2002 showdown. Stories from outside the ring and infamous moments all feature in Legendary Nights - The Tale Of Lennox Lewis & Mike Tyson.

Career Profiles - Henry Armstrong (Part II)

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 12:00:00 -0000

Henry Jackson Jr. (December 12, 1912 – October 22, 1988) was an American professional boxer and a world boxing champion who fought under the name Henry Armstrong.

Henry Armstrong, a 5-foot-5½ buzzsaw, accomplished what no fighter before or since has ever been able to do -- he simultaneously held three world titles. He managed this unique feat before inflation hit boxing, back when there were only eight weight classes with no junior-this or super-that divisions.

In the second part of Armstong's story, we document his reign as champion, the adversity that he faced, the politics of boxing, and the rest of his storied career and life.

Career Profiles - Manny Pacquiao (Part II)

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 11:00:00 -0000

Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao aka Manny Pacquiao (born December 17, 1978) is a Filipino politician and former professional boxer.

Regarded by boxing historians as one of the greatest professional boxers of all time, Pacquiao is the only boxer in history to win twelve major world titles in eight different weight divisions.

He is also the first boxer in history to win the lineal championship in five different weight divisions, as well as the first boxer in history to win major world titles in four of the original eight weight divisions of boxing, also known as the "glamour divisions": flyweight, featherweight, lightweight and welterweight.

In this second part, we pick up from 2010 when Manny Pacquiao was at his brilliant best in the ring, but certain fights would elude him until later down the line. Outside the ring, his political career really kicks in with some difficult moments along the way up until 2022 when he finally calls time on a legendary career, but is it really all said and done for Pacquiao?

Career Profiles - Jake LaMotta

Mon, 04 Sep 2023 11:00:00 -0000

Giacobbe "Jake" LaMotta (July 10, 1922 – September 19, 2017) was an American professional boxer who was the world middleweight champion between 1949 and 1951. Nicknamed "The Bronx Bull" or "Raging Bull" for his technique of constant stalking, brawling and inside fighting, he developed a reputation for being a "bully"; he was what is often referred to today as a swarmer and a slugger.

Meet Jake La Motta: thief, rapist, killer. Raised in the Bronx slums, he fought on the streets, got sent to reform school, and served time in prison. Trusting no one, slugging everyone, he beat his wife, his best friends, and even the mobsters who kept the title just out of reach.

A victim of racial discrimination, he was denied a chance to fight for the world heavyweight championship while in his prime.

This second part of Peter Jackson's story documents the difficulties he faced in trying to get his shot at the heavyweight title with famous names such as John L Sullivan and James Corbett drawing the color line and refusing to meet Jackson in the ring. The impact this would have on Jackson is a sad one and would ultimately lead to a decline and eventually his untimely demise.

Career Profiles - Emile Griffith

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 11:00:00 -0000

Emile Alphonse Griffith (February 3, 1938 – July 23, 2013) was a professional boxer from the U.S. Virgin Islands who won world titles in three weight divisions.

A five-time world champion boxer. An adoptive father. Twice voted the American boxer of the year. A known bisexual. An honorable Olympic coach. A murderer. Emile Griffith was a controversial figure in his time and remains one today. After a successful boxing career and a deadly "accident", many are still unsure what to make of Griffith and his legacy.

We take through the journey of Emile and how his difficult childhood and struggles with sexuality would lead him to become one of boxing's great fighters of the 1960s and 1970s

Career Profiles - Tex Rickard (Part II)

Mon, 17 Jul 2023 11:00:00 -0000

It was January 2nd, 1870, when one of the earliest, if not first, of the legendary boxing promoters was born, in Kansas City, Missouri, with the name George Lewis Rickard. Tex Rickard could be described as the first managerial figure to truly recognise the potential of sports as a commercial spectacle.

In this second part to the Tex Rickard career profile, we continue to present the story of how the continued success in boxing promotions would lead the creation of new venues including a new Madison Square Garden and the presentation of some historic fights grossing money beyond the wildest dreams of anyone in the 1920s.

It was January 2nd, 1870, when one of the earliest, if not first, of the legendary boxing promoters was born, in Kansas City, Missouri, with the name George Lewis Rickard. Not only was Rickard a boxing promoter, but he was also the founder of the New York Rangers of the NHL, and builder of the third incarnation of Madison Square Garden. Tex Rickard could be described as the first managerial figure to truly recognise the potential of sports as a commercial spectacle.

In the first of a two-part story, we present the early beginning of Rickard and how his time as a sheriff and a miner up in Alaska would take him on a journey to promoting some of the sport's biggest bouts in the first decade of the 20th century.

Career Profiles - Charley Burley

Mon, 03 Jul 2023 11:00:00 -0000

The term ‘uncrowned champ’ has been used and abused throughout boxing history, but this middleweight contender earned that title the hard way. Charley Burley (September 6, 1917 – October 16, 1992) was an American boxer who fought as a welterweight and middleweight from 1936 to 1950.

In an era in which boxing was in the hands of the mob, the sport conspired to deny Burley a title shot to any kind of world championship available at that point, both at welterweight and middleweight. He did defeat several past or future world champions including Zivic and Moore, who once called him “the greatest fighter ever,” echoing a sentiment expressed also by legendary trainer Eddie Futch and many other insiders of that era.

The Big Fight Preview - Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs John Ryder

Tue, 02 May 2023 14:45:20 -0000

It's Cinco de Mayo week in Mexico and that means only one thing...Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is boxing!

This time it's against our very own John Ryder 32-5 (18KOs) who has forced his way into this position and has been on a career resurgence having fights with Callum Smith, Danny Jacobs, and Zach Parker in recent years. This is his top-of-the-mountain moment, but can he topple the mighty Mexican who some say is not the same fighter any more despite still being number one in the division?

We look ahead to the fight and assess the chances of John Ryder and look at where Canelo is at and whether there could be a shock on the cards!

Mon, 13 Mar 2023 12:00:00 -0000

In this episode, we check out the life of the man who inspired Sylvester Stallone to write the Rocky character. He came from the streets and loved a bar-room brawl even more than a fight in the ring.

In boxing, he was known mainly for two things, being the bloodiest fighter, maybe in boxing history, and getting a shot, out of nowhere, to fight Muhammad Ali, for the heavyweight championship of the world!

Life after boxing consisted of life selling liquor, legally, and for a little while, selling cocaine, illegally. A federal investigation brought an end to that, but years later, he's in trouble once more, this time for being involved with memorabilia forgery!

Mon, 06 Mar 2023 12:00:00 -0000

An Irish immigrant, a collection agent for crime bosses, a professional boxer, and a prolific gambler, John Morrissey was—if nothing else—an unlikely candidate to become one of the most important figures in the history of American history.

John Morrissey, was a two-fisted Irish immigrant who, more than any other man of the age, represented the nefarious links between organized crime, politics, sports, and high finance in America. The loose inspiration behind Leonardo DiCaprio's character in The Gangs of New York, he was an undefeated bare-knuckle prize-fighter, widely recognized as the national champion, as well as a feared gangster and mob boss before either term was coined, rumored leader of the Dead Rabbits street gang, and eventually U.S. Congressman and member of the New York state senate.

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 12:00:00 -0000

We tell the odd story of the Haitian-born adopted Canadian fighter who came to another country, as a small child, grew up in foster care, and ran the streets, putting himself in all kinds of dangerous situations. He ended up becoming a world champion boxer, with an exciting, crowd-pleasing style, and a growing fan base.

Sounds like the dream, right? Well, there was a very murky past, that people weren't aware of. Like doing time in prison, for absolutely horrific, and downright disgusting crimes! Once it all comes out, no one looks at him the same, despite his winning ways.

Finally, his career is ended by a series of punches that puts him in a coma, and makes his survival anything but assured, but the question remains is it a story of retribution for past transgressions or redemption for turning his life around after being on death's door?

We explore one of the most charismatic characters that we've ever heard of, combined with a private life that can easily be described as "chaos". He has more wrap sheets than you can count, but one thing remains true, he's a self-destructive, but very nice person.

An Olympic gold medallist, he became heavyweight champion of the world, in only his eighth fight, and from that moment on things went downhill at an almighty pace. He had his teeth stolen, multiple times. But there is one part of him that is incredibly impressive, and it's not his right hand!

In November 1982, South Korean boxer Duk-Koo Kim entered the boxing ring to fight American boxer Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini in a highly awaited bout that received a lot of media attention. The two were competing for the WBA lightweight title.

In the 14th round of what was a ferocious contest, Mancini headed straight for Kim, where he blasted him with a sharp left hook. Mancini missed with a left and a right, then connected with a straight right to the centre of Kim’s face. The South Korean tumbled backward, falling flat on his back, and sliding underneath the ropes.

Kim stayed down for a couple of seconds before rolling over and getting to his knees. His vision was impaired, and he struggled to grasp the lower rope. Once Kim clutched it, he stood halfway up and began to stumble backward. Referee Richard Green recognized the injured fighter’s instability, waved both hands over his head, and declared the fight over.

Héctor Luís Camacho Matías (May 24, 1962 – November 24, 2012), commonly known by his nickname "Macho" Camacho, was a Puerto Rican professional boxer and entertainer. Known for his quickness in the ring and flamboyant style,[Camacho competed professionally from 1980 to 2010

On Nov. 20, 2012, Macho and a childhood friend were shot while sitting in a car outside a strip mall in Bayamón. Authorities reportedly found nine bags of cocaine in the vehicle. The friend died immediately, while Macho — with a bullet lodged in his shoulder and restricting blood flow to his brain — was rushed to a hospital.

But the boxer couldn’t pull through to a victory this time; he suffered a cardiac arrest that left him brain-dead and was removed from life support.
