that was the only white fighter to ever score s victory against Tyson
No, no white boy ever beat Mike, but a few men did. Teddy Atlas chipped Mike's teeth with a .38 after Mike accosted his niece, long before any of Mike's abusive tendency's towards women became tabloid fodder and front page news. Kevin McBride beat Mike's @$$ and forced a humiliated Tyson to quit on his stool, not exactly how true champions of historical note end their careers, but then I have never been a big Tyson fan. We both rented the old Wheeler center in Detroit's now gone Brewster projects. We both chose it because of the boxing history the place held. It was the Kronk before there was a Kronk, and Eddie Futch trained Joe Louis and Emanual Steward there. Mike was training for the Golata fight and I was coaching a UAW men's league basketball team at the time. A couple of neighborhood white guys sparred with Mike and held their own. Mike was a heavy puncher, but not much of a boxer.
Kevin McBride represented Ireland in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. On June 11, 2005, McBride scored the most important victory of his professional career, when he defeated Mike Tyson on a 6th round TKO, after Tyson retired on his stool before the 7th round.
Kevin McBride beat a completely shot Tyson.
Yes, an Irish "white boy" called Kevin McBride.
No one ever beat Tyson.
He did that himself.
I think Botha beated him until the signal was in for Tyson to get the KO bribery in the 5th. Tyson was losing and was getting frustratingly dirty. Fight was real but Botha has to take a fall in the 5th to get Tyson back in the market.
Charlie Coke had him beat several times...
