Who Is Mike Tyson's Wife, Kiki Spicer? Everything to Know

Mike Tyson, one of the world's most controversial and celebrated boxers, is returning to the ring on Nov. 15 to face Jake Paul. The fight was first announced in March and will finally take place in Arlington, Texas, after being postponed this summer because of Tyson's ulcer condition. The fight is expected to be a massive spectacle due to Tyson and Paul's separate notoriety-craving personalities. While Tyson is one of the most famous heavyweight champions in the world, Jake Paul is younger and in better shape. No matter who wins the fight, both men are going to walk away with cash-lined pockets because of the eyeballs they'll bring to the fight.

Tyson, of course, became a household name in 1986 when he earned the title of youngest heavyweight champion at the age of 20 years old. He was the first heavyweight to hold the WBA, WBC, and IBF titles. He's also known for famously biting off part of Evander Holyfield's right ear in their 1997 WBA rematch. Tyson was immediately disqualified from the match, but the incident only added to his controversial persona inside and outside of the ring.
