In this fight, Mike showed everyone his forgotten powerful right straight since the days of Michael Johnson in 1985.
On January 16, 1999, two of the biggest names in boxing history, Mike Tyson and Francois Botha, stepped into the ring in Las Vegas for what promised to be an epic showdown. Botha, a former heavyweight champion, was looking to prove that he still had what it takes to compete at the highest level. Meanwhile, Tyson was making a comeback after a suspension, and eager to show the world that he was still a force to be reckoned with.
