Mike Tyson is an American boxer. In 1986, at age 20, Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history. Cus D’Amato, his trainer, taught him a peekaboo boxing style, which involved keeping his hands close to his cheeks and constantly bobbing in the boxing ring. This made his defense almost impenetrable. Tyson also had a quickness and aggression that overwhelmed opponents. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011.
