Mike Tyson won the heavyweight title at 20—but the two people he most wanted to make proud were gone: his mother and Cus D’Amato.

On November 22, 1986, Tyson stopped Trevor Berbick in round two to become the youngest heavyweight champion in history. Later that night, a journalist recalls finding him alone in a hotel lobby, wearing his championship belt.

This Boxing Now story connects Tyson’s later reflection with the dedication he gave Cus on the night he became champion.

The hotel-lobby encounter is a journalist’s recollection. Archival footage and interviews: TYSON documentary, episode 1, “Power.” New narration, editing and motion graphics: Boxing Now.
