The fight went badly for Tyson as Lennox dominated him for the majority of the bout. 'Iron Mike' was finally knocked out in the eighth round. He was humble in defeat, but it was clear that this was the beginning of the end. Mike Tyson retired after three more fights.

Although their rematch will most likely be an exhibition bout, there's massive PPV potential.
