    That's insane to think about. After all the history he made in the ring himself, he now has another guy using his name, making heavyweight history himself. Mike Tyson's name will last forever. It will be a trivia question 100 years from now.

    The guy even has millions of dogs named after him too.

    And when Michael Hunter Jr bags a title he will have the whole gamut.

    Trivia: The 2019 Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury was named after 1986 Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson. Fury's father was an avid fan of boxing, having come from a long lineage of Gypsy bare knuckle champions.

    Ironically, Mike Tyson was renowned for his knockout ability and explosive punching style, while Fury was a feather-fisted dancer who often outpointed tougher opposition.

    or a convicted you-know-what. Though the alleged offence came after his birth.

    Regardless of Tyson Fury, Mike Tyson is already the most famous boxer of all time along with Muhammad Ali.
