One of the best Heavyweight fighters of all time, Mike Tyson was a monster during his prime. In his fighting days, Tyson was a menace, knocking out everybody who stood in his way.
Tyson still holds the record of being the youngest-ever world heavyweight champion. He concluded his career with a professional record of 50-6, including 44 knockout victories. Tyson was very successful in the arena and gained millions of dollars from boxing; but, his personal life was tragic. The terrible passing of Tyson’s daughter was one of the most egregious incidents that horrified the entire boxing community. Exodus, Tyson’s daughter, died in a terrible treadmill accident in 2009. Her older brother, who discovered Exodus entangled in a cable, found her. She was rushed to the hospital as soon as the incident occurred, but it didn’t help, and on May 25, 2009, her demise was declared.
When Tyson learned about the incident, he immediately left for his home in Arizona and flew from Las Vegas. However, Tyson had missed his chance to stop the terrible disaster. According to the police reports, the treadmill wasn’t even running, yet Exodus got tangled up in the cables and was unable to free herself.
