    I've heard sometimes that Mike Tyson sparred with Jimmy Young just wondering if this was this actually happened.

    Is my understanding that Young Tyson and Jimmy Young sparred until Jimmy decided it was no longer worthwhile Apparently Young had serious abuse issues. However, even has the mistake he was able to frustrate Tyson.
    I heard that too a fortyish Young frustrated Evander Holyfield as well.
