Al "Chico" Evans: The Forgotten Heavyweight Who Stopped Mike Tyson at 16
Al “Chico” Evans holds a unique and largely forgotten place in boxing history. He is recognized as the heavyweight who handed Mike Tyson one of the most overlooked defeats of his early career. This significant encounter saw Evans stop the future world champion when Tyson was just a 16-year-old amateur, long before he transformed into the fearsome professional force who would dominate the heavyweight division. At that time, Tyson was still a teenager, not yet the 'Iron Mike' known for his devastating power. Despite this remarkable victory over an emerging legend, Evans’s own journey in the sport diverged, and his career did not achieve the same prominence, leaving his memorable defeat of a young Tyson as a fascinating, yet often untold, chapter in boxing lore.
