Mike Tyson vs Trevor Berbick 22.11.1986 - WBC World Heavyweight Championship

Mike Tyson's first world title shot against WBC Heavyweight Champion, Trevor Berbick. Mike Tyson was undefeated and seen as one of the most devastating punchers in the sport however Berbick was no slouch himself and had faced tough competition before. More info below... Trevor Berbick began his boxing career in 1976 and was undefeated for roughly 2 and half years before being KO'd by Bernardo Mercado in a WBC Continental Americas Heavyweight title match. He would bounce back to win the vacant Canada Heavyweight title in his next fight and successfully defended it by 1st round KO in 1980. In 1981 Berbick challenged undefeated WBC Heavyweight Champion Larry Holmes losing by 15 round unanimous decision. Although Berbick lost the fight he earned considerable respect for lasting the distance, as Holmes had won 8 straight previous defenses of his WBC title by KO. Once again Berbick would bounce back and in his next outing won the vacant Commonwealth Heavyweight title. In December 1981, Berbick would face off against one of the best boxers of all time in Muhammad Ali. This Ali however was slow, 39 years old and possibly suffering from the early signs of Parkinson's. Berbick won an easy 10 round decision although coped some criticism for not being able to put Ali away. In 1985 Berbick won the USBA Heavyweight title from David Bey and successfully defended it against undefeated Mitch "Blood" Green. By the end of 1985 Berbick had been stripped of the Canada and Commonwealth Heavyweight titles for failure to defend however greater things were on the horizon. In 1986 Berbick pulled off the performance of his career, winning the WBC World Heavyweight title by outpointing undefeated Pinklon Thomas. Berbick's record at the time was 31-4-1. Tyson was an absolute wrecking ball in the heavyweight division during the mid to late 80's. He had a 27-0 record with 25 KO's yet only stood 5'10" tall which is quite small for a heavyweight. Although most his opponents were no name cannon fodder he had beaten tough fighters the likes of former WBC World Cruiserweight Champion Alfonzo Ratliff, Jose Ribalta, Marvis Frazier, Mitch Green and former WBA World Heavyweight title challenger James Tillis. The Fight: Berbick was completely out powered from the get go. He couldn't match Tyson's raw power and never looked to have Tyson in trouble. Early in round 2 Berbick went down from a series of blows and although he got to his feet and tried to show he was unhurt, he spent the remainder of the round trying to tie Tyson up and slow him down. Late in the round Tyson landed a hook to the temple and Berbick went down again however this time he was knocked clean of his equilibrium and flailed about the ring as he attempted to stand up. Referee Mills Lane rightly called an end to the fight and Tyson became the youngest ever World Heavyweight Champion. In 1988 Berbick would challenge USBA Heavyweight Champion Carl Williams, in an IBF Heavyweight Title eliminator but lost a lackluster 12 round decision. Following KO wins against hard punching Jeff Sims and the tough but limited Bobby Crabtree it appeared Berbick was about to get his career back on track however in 1992 he was convicted of assault, rape and grand theft. He served 15 months in prison and was deported back to Jamaica. He returned in 1994 and racked up 4 wins in a row to earn himself a shot at the vacant WBC Continental Americas Heavyweight title, a belt he failed to win back in 1979. His opponent however was IBO World Heavyweight Champion, Jimmy Thunder, and Berbick ended up losing a one sided 12 round decision. In 1997 Berbick competed for the vacant IBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight title but lost a surprising split decision to underdog Lyle McDowell. In 1999 Berbick would win the Canada Heavyweight title for a second time by 12th round TKO against Shane Sutcliffe while weighing the heaviest of his career at 254lbs. His final fight was a rematch against Sutcliffe for the Canada Heavyweight title in which Berbick successfully defended the belt over 12 rounds. His final record stood at 49-11-1. Over the next 3 years following his demolishing of Berbick, Tyson would unify the WBC, WBA and IBF World Heavyweight belts successfully defending them against the likes of Tyrell Biggs, Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks and Frank Bruno. Tyson was seen as unbeatable, he saw himself as unbeatable, and that's why in 1990 a man by the name of James "Buster" Douglas would shock the world by not only beating Tyson for all three World Heavyweight belts, but knocking him out cold in the process. Tyson's god-like image had been shattered. In 1992 Tyson was jailed for rape and deviant sexual conduct serving 3 years. He returned to the ring in 1995 and continued boxing for another 10 years. His rivalries with Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis during this period are now legendary. He retired in 2005 with a 50-6 record.
