Tyrell Biggs | October 16, 1987 | Convention Hall, Atlantic City, New Jersey
Outcome: Seventh Round Knockout | 2:59 | Retained WBC, WBA & IBF Heavyweight titles.
For his fifth title defense of the WBC, WBA & IBF Heavyweight titles; Iron Mike was undefeated with 31 wins and 27 knockouts heading into Atlantic City to face Tyrell Biggs. Biggs was 15-0 in his career thus far with 10 via knockout coming fresh from winning a gold medal 3 years previously. The fight would take Tyson to the 7th round until he would finally get the knockout sending Biggs down once with an insane left hook almost knocking him out of the ring.
In our opinion the fight should’ve stopped their but Tyrell got back to his feet with 20 seconds left before the rounds end. Tyson would land 5 consecutive hits on Biggs as he was leaking blood already battered for the knockout and the fight was over before the conclusion of the 7th round.
