Mike Tyson
He became the youngest heavyweight boxing champion of the world in 1986 when he was 20. In 1990, he lost his first fight and served three years in prison over rape charges. He had then become complacent and was being destroyed by alcohol and drugs. His name further came into disrepute after biting a boxer’s ear during a rematch in 1997.
But what was his biggest nemesis were his struggles with women. His first wife, actor Robin Givens divorced him in 1989 over allegations of sexual abuse. She demanded access to Tyson’s money for a down payment on a $3 million home in New Jersey. Tyson’s game started falling apart and he became increasingly violent.
His second wife, Monica Turner filed for divorce in 2003 after six years of marriage over accusations of adultery. Tyson, that same period, filed for bankruptcy following his excessive spending and even sold his mansion in Farmington, Connecticut.
He had to sleep on couches of friends before getting to Phoenix, Arizona, where he bought a home. He raised money through the endorsement of products and making of cameos on television and in boxing exhibitions.
