Mike Tyson, in his days, was a force to be reckoned with. But there was one time when he was called out by a gang leader, Mitch Green, for a boxing fight. Mitch Green made an effort to escape the dangerous neighborhood of gang violence and started putting his focus on boxing instead. Whereas, on the other hand, Mike Tyson also had a similar past but by the time Green called him out, he was the rising star in the boxing world who had consecutively knocked out 19 opponents in just 2 or 3 rounds.

His knockout streak was broken for the first time by James Tillis. Now, this gave hope to the other boxers that there is a way around ‘Iron’ Mike. It was a ray of hope for many boxers, as Tillis proved that Tyson wasn’t invincible. And that’s what opened the chapter of Mitch Green, as he challenged Tyson to a boxing match. He used to make video clips calling him out which were played by HBO in between the broadcasts. Well, Mike Tyson accepted his challenge and got inside a boxing ring with him in the year of 1986.

Now the fans are going wild as they are reminded about this boxing fight, because after this fight, Green retired from boxing, and went back to the streets. While Mike Tyson went on to become the greatest heavyweight boxer of his time. But after some years, Green encountered Mike Tyson in front of a restaurant and Tyson hit him with a punch in the face. And amidst the brawl, Tyson also tore Green’s eye. Well, there is no actual evidence of the debacle but both of them claim that it happened.
