Mike Tyson's Challenge: Battling Gang Leader Mitch Green
The bout between Mike Tyson and Mitch Green took place on May 20, 1986, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It was an eagerly anticipated fight, largely because of the buildup that had occurred between the two fighters.
Mitch "Blood" Green, known for his distinctive style and brash demeanor, had engaged in a street altercation with Tyson prior to the fight. This incident added an extra layer of tension and excitement to their eventual bout.
In the fight itself, Mike Tyson dominated Mitch Green, displaying the ferocious punching power and relentless aggression that would become his trademark. Tyson overwhelmed Green with his speed and power, ultimately winning the bout by a unanimous decision after ten rounds.
The victory further solidified Tyson's reputation as one of the most formidable and dominant heavyweight boxers of his era. It also added to the legend of Tyson's early career, which was characterized by a string of impressive victories and devastating knockouts.
After the fight, Tyson continued his ascent to boxing superstardom, eventually becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and one of the most recognizable figures in sports history. As for Mitch Green, while he continued to box professionally for several more years, he never reached the same level of success or fame as Tyson.

Mitch Green did very very well considering it was Mike Tyson he was fighting

That's because Mike wanted to drag out the fight on purpose to teach him a lesson , Mike could have knock him out at anytime , he said that when the fight was over 😂

Pretty sure Mike was basically teasing him the entire match. Mike was showboating and dancing while slipping punches, cause he genuinely did not like Mitch at the time.

Tyson didn't care who is street fighter or gang leader. He knock him down in the ring. And also he knock him down his enemy in street fight,. I think 1984, tyson is a young boy he said," i don't scared knife and a gun," He was confident.

Mike Tyson overrated he didn’t beat the big boys like Holyfield Lennox Lewis even he got nothing to do with George Foreman and Riddick bow so he was overrated
Mike was probably in his prime here. Before all the glitz and glam of being champ. Cus may even have still been alive too. So we have to give props to Mitch for this performance
Di era nya bahkan goliath sekalipun akan tumbang. Tyson bukan sekedar petinju tapi seorang pejuang sejati
I saw Mitch Green on the NYC subway a few years ago. He didn’t look so good. However, I always said if Mitch Green had a better trainer and stayed off those drugs, he would have had a GREAT CAREER!!!!! He had Game! Punching power, Athleticism, Long Reach, A talented Boxer and Brawler. Drugs just got the Best of him! He was a damn good boxer who wasted his potential!

It was ruled a Draw
There never was before, nor would there ever be again, another Heavy Weight Boxer like Iron Mike Tyson, Period!
Prime Mike was so ferocious. I miss this era of boxing when it felt like you were actually watching a fight and they would go for the finish these days the top boxers are scared to fight each other.
El mejor de todos los tiempos mike
Mitch Blood Green is a real life GRA character. Fought Tyson in the streets, then took it to the ring and survived to tell the story. Legend.
Much respect for Mitch going the distance with Mike. And toe-to-toe at that.

People don’t understand how much stamina Mike had too. That played a big factor in this fight
He went toe to toe with Iron Mike and stood up better than a lot of professional fighters of Mike's career. 😅
Great fight to both fighters Mitch was tough took some tremendous shots from Tyson
‼️Tyson knocked the Jeri out of his curls🥊💥😜🤣😭🤣😭🤣
Mitch Green was a thug but he gave prime Tyson one of his toughest fights
Mitch had the heart of a lion.
Tyson was a BEAST!! We all knew it would be 1 rounders but paid the ticket
Mike is a thing of beauty when he lets those combos go.
Mitch green was a tough cookie to chew for Mike
Mr Gangster got beat up but he didn't back down he kept swinging for his life
Green wasn't afraid of Mike at all. He lost but didn't get knocked out
Dude thought he was gangsta and Mike said hold my beer….
sometimes I feel like boxing is also a game of luck. all it takes is one punch on the right spot
Mr. Green is one TOUGH hombre!
it's a long fight... i've been watching for over an hour and they're still beating the crap out of each other.
Mitch Would have gave a lot of our favorite heavyweight contenders a problem if he kept discipline and focus.
Mike Tyson greatest fighter that has lived. Dangerous very dangerous + his great humble personality. Just dont fool around with him. He puts you down.
Mitch Green had boxing ability. He should have had a more sustained career.
Guy gave Tyson a run for his money. Made him work for it. Went to toe.
To his credit, Green DID manage to NOT get knocked out - quite a rarity in a Tyson fight.
Mike Tyson was the only one in Mitch Green's way, beside Mitch himself.
Tyson was a machine in the pocket.
Always liked Tyson the fighter but like him even more now.
That perm was 50 % of the battle for the opponent
At least Green fought back. Mike was just a fckn pitbull.
Green was holding on for dear life during this fight! 🤦🏾♂️😅🤣😂
I stood beside mitch green, im 5 .11. Can't imagine getting in the ring with him .he's a bad ass.
He may have been a gang leader but in the ring there was only one leader.
He did well considering it’s Iron Mike.
Mitch Green looks like hes being punished , but the Paycheck was worth it ............. smile
Mike has the best head movement
When you’re fighting with Tyson have in mind that you’re faced with a lethal and extremely wild tiger, by the way just consider yourself dead anything can happen this man is very ruthless
Knocked the Jerry juice out his curl 😂😂😅
Each arm feels like 10kg after few rounds😮
Mitch “Blood” Green. He went the distance with prime Mike. Prime Ali would have done much better than Mitch on this night.
Why don't you ask Mitch blood green who gave him an eye pepper in New York City what a fool that man was
Champion Mike, you destroyed this guy. Give him a break!
Tyson said later that Green was on PCP when he fought him.
Then Mike beat his ass and broke his eye socket on the street.
When you realize Tyson was actually fighting shonuff from the last dragon 😂 he hit him so hard he was.....shaking like a polaroid picture
Майк Тайсон легендарлуу мушкер Мухаммед Али экөө тең 👊👊👊✊💪🥊
Tyson is a boxing legend killer
タイソンの凄さはその壊れない拳や身体が素晴らしい人でしたね！唯一無二ですね！
Tyson is the champ that we admire, but at the same time, no sad feeling when he was beaten...
Mouth piece went flying LMAO 🤣
Tyson is beast
Can't even Mitch green stand tall fighting Tyson
The way to take Greene out was the body. Somehow, he didn't go down after the head beating.
To be honest Mitch was not dropped by more than a few lower blasts by Tyson Mitch did blast back but clearly lost but fought valiantly with firce force. Howevet the street fight in Harlem shortly after Tyso droppe him once and knocky him out for fifteenseconds Tyson also broke a knuckle or two on him and had a cast for a certain amount of time
This was the first of 2 ass whoopings by Mike
Mitch stood his ground
I liked Mitch Green
Mitch Green was in C-76 back in 92 we had to jump dude for trying to run the TV. We was watching videos and he turned the TV. He stood up talking shit and we just rushed his ass but once he got up we ran to our cells. No one was trying to catch them hands😅😅😅
Tyson had a lot of good body shots but missed many head shots The trick is to keep going!
He admitted to being high on cocaine when he fought Tyson. He's a preacher now in East Orange NJ.
Mike is a real
He (Mitch Green) looks like the guy on final fight 😂
