25 years ago on the 22/11/86, Mike Tyson became at 20 years of age the youngest ever heavyweight champion of the world.
That was something wasn't it ? I don't see it being repeated any time soon.

Be careful though because some folks on here don't think Tyson was the youngest since it wasn't the lineal championship
Whether it was for the lineal championship or not it was an historic occasion. I cant believe it was 25 years ago ! The heavyweight division is definitely a very different place now and a fighter like Tyson would certainly enliven the division. He might have struggled with the Klitschkos he may have destroyed them, he certainly would not have got on his bike against them. The depth and quality of opposition was not quite up to the previous decades Ali-Frazier-Holmes-Norton-Foreman battles but provided a lot of entertaining competitive fights, something the division has not had for a while.
