Boxers like Mike Tyson have served as a figurehead for what every newcomer should aspire to: a career defined by the power of their fists, not the ability to move their tongue when delivering remarks they can’t hold in the ring.

 

Brian Nielsen’s career remained nearly flawless until it was his turn to step into the ring against an Iron Mike who, going into his forties, still had a lot to offer in the boxing world.

In today’s video, we bring you the downfall of one of Denmark’s greatest boxing figures, against the American legend whom very few managed to beat.

Brian Nielsen won the bronze medal at the nineteen ninety-two Olympics in Barcelona, and then began his professional career in September of that same year at the age of twenty-seven.

Advancing in his professional career, Brian managed to beat greats such as Ross Puritty, James Smith, Tony Tubbs, Tim Witherspoon, and even the legendary Larry Holmes, where it is perhaps important to note that he was already forty-seven years old at the time of the fight.

Nielsen managed to equal Rocky Marciano’s record of forty-nine undefeated victories. But, he was not satisfied, he intended to surpass the record of this great champion.

Plans that were cut short when Dicky Ryan defeated him in June nineteen ninety-nine, during the tenth round.

Mike Tyson vs. the FAT FUCK! This fight is scary to watch….
