Mike Tyson weighed 14st as 13-year-old and viciously KO’d 17-year-old opponent in very first fight sparking brawl
Jun 5, 2020
MIKE TYSON sparked a brawl in the ring after his first fight aged 13 - having knocked out his 17-year-old opponent.
Tyson, who just turned a teen, was already weighing 14st when his amateur coach Teddy Atlas matched him for his first ever bout.
Organisers refused to believe the brute heavyweight was just 13, so Atlas had to lie and instead say he was 18.
Initially set for an exhibition, the trainer revealed chaos erupted after Tyson KO'd his opponent before the opposing coach went after the future world champion.
Atlas said on his podcast: “The other guy’s looking to knock him out. So, within a minute, Mike made him miss and it’s over. He knocks this 17-year-old kid out.
“Then he comes in, bang, he hits him with a left hook. The guy’s head goes like this [twists backwards], his body goes [limp] and he falls outside the ring.
“I mean, you talk about Hollywood. His mouthpiece goes flying, probably about 20 feet back and winds up in somebody’s lap - the legend of Mike Tyson was starting.
“But there was a problem right away, because now his trainer jumped in the ring to go after Mike. I went immediately after him.
“I was his father, big brother, whatever you wanna call it. Even though Cus D’Amato is the patriarch of the whole thing, I was the guy there with him.
“I jump in the ring and go right after the trainer and we’ve got each other by the throat.
