As for me, real heavy-weight boxing ended with this man.

All them Klitcko and Anthony Joshua are just holding forte, until another real heavyweight boxer emerges.

I dey tell you bros.

no Frazier. foreman. lenox. Who con dey ?


I havnt seen any one that can match these men yet

Autojosh, review the first car picture. Thats a Buick Regal, not a Cadillac. Buick and Oldsmobile, came in models similar and parallel to one another. Cadillac produced two door Deville, Buick produced two door Regal. They are hard to differentiate sideways but you can tell them apart from front or rear....and from their wheels and hubcaps. The taillight on this car in your pictire is not cadillac and neither are those wheel spokes.

omoteacher:




Iron Mike Tyson was a fighter/killer and not a good boxer. He could not fight beyond 8 rounds he will be exerted and wishing the fight could end. Though I enjoyed all his fight, he always fight to kill no room for entertainment or unnecessary prolonged fight like the real heavy weight boxers.

u sabi!

This is why he's broke. Black people don't think.

All these cars he owned he paid taxes and insurance on them. Where did that go? To White people.

They took everything back from back door.

Wait for Mayweather, if he doesn't think now his wealth will be gone. Do you think this is Nigeria where pastors buy jets and parked them on Nigeria soil for free?. The moment Buhari cut that sh!t off, they started selling their jets.

So this is why this dude went broke. Why couldn't he invest his money?. Remember Douglas?. After Douglas won big fight, money accrued from that he invested in real estate. His real estate still functioning.

autojosh:


Mike Tyson was one of the toughest and most dreaded figures in boxing history.

His first 19 fights were won by knockouts. Twelve (12) of those demolitions were in the first round.

At the peak of his boxing career, he amassed an estimated net worth of about $300 million.

Sadly, he blew this fortune on a lavish lifestyle.




Tyson also achieved fame (or notoriety) for his extraordinary habit of acquiring luxury cars.

In 2002, after his defeat to Lennox Lewis, Tyson fortune suffered a significant decline.

In 2003, after a bout of overspending and the accumulation of taxes, he filed for Bankruptcy.

Sadly, the Hall of Fame boxer had to sell most of his cars to auctions and celebrity museums.



At the peak of his boxing career,  “Iron Mike” Tyson’s car collection included: several Rolls-Royces, Range Rover, Porsches, Jaguars, Aston-Martin Lagonda, BMWs, Cadillac Escalade, Lamborghinis, etc.

Autojosh highlights some of his popular automobiles and a brief history behind each.





Cadillac Eldorado


Following a successful amateur career, Tyson joined the professional rank in 1985.  After winning his first 19 fights, he was hailed as the “Golden child” of the division. To match the new reputation, he fittingly bought for himself ‘the golden one’, a Cadillac Eldorado.




1985 Cadillac Seville

After the death of his influential trainer - D'Amato - in November 1985, Jim Jacobs took over as Tyson’s trainer. Jacobs acquired for Tyson a Cadillac Seville. This early taste of luxury automobiles obviously sparked a passion in Tyson for cars.




Rolls-Royce Silver Spur


In 1986, after defeating James Smith to claim the WBA title, Tyson visited a luxury car dealership. He told the dealer that he wanted a Rolls-Royce. Mike’s new manager Jacobs stopped him and ordered that he should suspend the purchase until he was 21.

Tyson returned to the dealership on June 30, his 21st birthday, to purchase a blue Rolls-Royce Silver Spur. The car cost him $119,500.




Rolls-Royce Corniche

In 1987, after defeating Tony Tucker to claim the IBF belt to hold all three-title straps, Tyson rewarded himself with a Rolls-Royce Corniche. The car cost him $165,000.




Rolls-Royce Stretch Limousine

In 1988, after Tyson crashed his convertible Bentley, boxing promoter, Don King, bought Tyson two luxury cars: a black Rolls-Royce Stretch Limousine for $198,000 and another ivory Corniche.




1989 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 560SL

After the demolition of British Frank Bruno, Tyson rewarded himself with a white 1989 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 560SL. It was reported that the 5.6-liter V8 car was a favourite of Tyson’s friend, rapper Tupac Shakur.  Tupac was believed to have influenced Tyson’s purchase of the car. The car has a top speed of around 137 miles per hour and come in both a Hard Top and Soft Top version.




1990 Mercedes Benz 500 SL

On February of 1990, James ‘Buster’ Douglas defeated the Champ – Iron Mike Tyson. This left Tyson losing the 3 titles he held. Regardless, on June of the same year, Tyson comforted himself with a 1990 Mercedes Benz 500 SL. The car came complete with a mobile phone (yes, a mobile phone was a big deal back then).  Days before his fight with amateur rival, Henry Tillman, the car was impounded by the police.




1995 Ferrari F50 and Ferrari 456 GT Spyder



During the early 90’s, Tyson returned to the ring after serving a jail term for rape. He brutalized Frank Bruno to regain his WBC title.

With his return to big earnings, came a return to his acquisition of luxury car collection.

He added to his car collection the Italian luxury cars - a 1995 Ferrari F50 and a Ferrari 456 GT Spyder - in a package deal. The GT Spyder was the last special production 456 produced as a convertible, with a limited number rolled out the factory. Two of this car model were specially built by Pininfarina: one for the Sultan of Brunei and one for Tyson.

Aston-Martin Lagonda

Mike Tyson loved classic cars too. He owned an Aston-Martin Lagonda.

This car was built by Aston Martin of Newport Pagnell, England, between 1974 and 1990.  Only 645 were produced. The car has a 5.3 liter DOHC V8 engine, producing 280 bhp and has a top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h) and an acceleration speed of 0–60 mph in 6.2 seconds.

The classic Aston-Martin Lagonda cost about $200,000 dollar.




1997 Bentley Continental T



Evander Holyfield handed Tyson a shock defeat. A rematch was slated. This became one of the most hotly anticipated rematches in boxing history.

Before the infamous second fight (when Tyson bit Holyfield’s ear) he purchased a stunning 1997 Bentley Continental T. The car had a price-tag of around $500,000.The car is regarded as the era of the last proper hand-built Bentleys.  The car came with an authoritative 6.75-liter turbocharged injection engine that punches with 426hp and a maximum torque of 645 lb-ft. Only 73 units of this car were produced.




2000 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster

In 1996, Tyson retained his WBA title in a controversial victory over Bruce Seldon.

That same night, his friend, Tupac Shakur, was tragically shot and killed. That notwithstanding, he rewarded himself with a classic yellow Lamborghini Super Diablo Twin Turbo.Only 7 of this car was built.

The car has a price tag today of around $150,000 dollars and features a custom V12 750 HP engine that has a healthy top speed of 358 Km/h. (222 Mph).





Jaguar XJ220


the Jaguar XJ220 is considered as one of the fastest supercars available. Iron Mike Tyson owned one.

Tyson is not broke. He may not be as rich as he used to be but definitely not broke.

Legendary heavyweight Michael Gerard Tyson has a net worth of $3 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He was — at the height of his boxing career — worth hundreds of millions. A 1992 conviction for rape, retirement from boxing, and lavish spending depleted his fortune, however, and he filed for bankruptcy in 2003.

Mike Tyson’s net worth, once upon a time, was $300 million dollars. After splashing the cash, and suffering from the consequences of some of his actions;

Mike Tyson’s net worth is now only $3 million.

Still richer than a lot of guys.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn....

If he had invested the money he used in acquiring these cars, he could av been richer than Donald trump now.

Walahi! Like real estate.

Vitali Klitcko is the only boxer that was not knocked down nor knocked out, the two fights he lost was due to injuries suffered during the fight. Vitali is the real GOAT

Mike is #1!!!

I thought that MR tyson is broke.

Tyson wasted $300 Million..

Not really his fault. He was a ghetto street kid hustling in the projects b4 he became world heavyweight champion at 17. A very young black man with no education and a lota wealth, u know how it will end

Abi o. Most of us blacks just consume anyhow. No investment sense.

Imagine if he invested in the nascent ICT industry at that time. Like buying serious shares on Microsoft or Apple.
