NEW YORK, June 10 -- World famous boxer Mike Tyson will be among the legends inducted Sunday into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Tyson, three weeks shy of his 45th birthday, became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history in 1986 at age 20 and finished with a record of 50-6 with 44 knockouts.
"I am honored," Tyson said. "The sport of boxing has given me so much and it is truly a blessing to be acknowledged alongside other boxing legends because they paved the way for me, as I hope I have inspired others."
Mexican legend Julio Cesar Chavez, Russian-born Australian Kostya Tszyu, Mexican trainer Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain, referee Joe Cortez and Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone, movie boxer "Rocky", were also honored.
