December 28th marks 35 years since Mike Tyson “destroyed” his opponent Mark Young in just 50 seconds. On this occasion, Boxing Repeat re-posted the clip of the match and immediately attracted the attention of the world boxing community.

Against an opponent with a record of only 9 wins – 6 losses at that time, Mike Tyson completely dominated. At the age of 19, “Iron Fist” possessed terrible strength from his hands and made his opponent only know how to endure.

At the 50th second mark, Mike threw a powerful right hook. The force of the blow was so great that Young flew to the corner and collapsed on the floor. After a few counts, referee Sid Rubenstein realized that Young was unconscious and decided to stop the fight.

With that result, Mike increased his record to 15 wins. A year later, Mike defeated Trevor Berbick to become the youngest heavyweight champion in history. This record has not been broken to this day.
