Mike Tyson signed (silver sharpie) 10"x 8" action photo in his fight with Trevor Berbick.

Trevor Berbick's passing in 2006 added a touch of poignancy to the 20th anniversary of this fight. It was at the tragic Jamaican's expense that boxing history was made on 22 November 1986. His conqueror was 20-year-old Mike Tyson, a rampaging throwback of a fighter from New York, who needed less than six minutes to blast his way into the record books at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel.
Tyson came into the fight essentially untested but almost universally touted as the next great heavyweight in waiting. Not since Muhammad Ali had a young fighter generated such intense interest and expectation in such a short time. A crowd of about 8,800, including films stars and celebrities, soon found out what all the fuss was about. After 27 straight wins, 25 by KO, Tyson was bidding to topple Floyd Patterson as the youngest heavyweight champion ever in a fight that was billed as "Judgement Day".
It was only Tyson's second fight in Vegas in his 21-month career. In his first, 77 days earlier, he had blown out the former cruiserweight champion Alfonso Ratliff in two rounds on the same bill as Michael Spinks's easy win over Norwegian Steffen Tangstad. Larry Merchant, commentating for HBO, the giant cable TV network that was running a knockout series to find an undisputed heavyweight champion, told viewers: "The key to this fight for Tyson is to be patiently aggressive and not throw himself into clinches, as he has done." But Tyson came out with one aim in mind: to get rid of Berbick as quickly as he could. He attacked from the start and his job was made easier when Berbick opted to stand right in front of him instead of moving.
The writing was on the wall at the end of the first round when Tyson sent Berbick staggering backwards across the ring with a four-punch combination. Tyson tried to finish it there and then but the bell intervened. In a blatant show of bravado, Berbick poked his tongue out at Tyson as he walked back to his corner but almost everyone in the arena knew what was about to happen. Maybe not Berbick's trainer Angelo Dundee, who clearly still had enough faith in his man's chances to scream: "Where's the f*** ing sponge?"
In the other corner, Tyson's trainer Kevin Rooney implored: "Go to the body first, then the head." But Tyson wasn't listening. A long right hand at the start of the round had Berbick rocking back on his heels, covering up, before two more left-rights sent the champion down for the first time. Berbick climbed straight back up and nodded at referee Mills Lane, looking more embarrassed than hurt, almost as if he had slipped on a banana skin. But he must have known then that his reign was going to be a short one.
Tyson continued to hammer him to head and body before administering the coup de grace, a right to the body followed by a stunning left hook to the temple.
Berbick crashed down as if his legs had been cut from beneath him. He tried vainly to get up but collapsed again near the ropes. But Berbick was proud, if nothing else. Once again, he bravely attempted to regain his footing but his legs wouldn't carry him and he fell for third time, on to his back. Berbick somehow got up again but lurched, via a turnbuckle, into the arms of Lane, who waved it off after two minutes 35 seconds of the round. Tyson did not celebrate. Instead, he simply shrugged and planted a kiss on the lips of co-manager Jim Jacobs. Perhaps his reaction was not surprising. In the build-up to the fight, he told one interviewer tersely: "I'll win the title as surely as Tuesday follows Monday." In the face of such conviction, Berbick truly hadn't a prayer. HBO analyst Sugar Ray Leonard, who was less than six months away from his fight with Marvin Hagler, said Tyson's win had left him "speechless", adding: "Mike Tyson did what Mike Tyson normally does and that's fight." Co-commentator Barry Tompkins confirmed: "Yeah, and that's with a capital F also!" Afterwards, Tyson told the watching millions: "My record will last for immortality. It will never be broken."
Twenty years on, that statement is beginning to look like one of the truest things Tyson ever said.

Michael Gerard Tyson (born June 30, 1966). He won two world heavyweight boxing championships during his career and remains the youngest man ever to win a world heavyweight title.
Nicknamed "Iron Mike Tyson", "Kid Dynamite" and "The Baddest Man on the Planet" Tyson adopted the Muslim name Malik Abdul Aziz, after his conversion to the Nation of Islam while in prison for his rape conviction (a similar step was taken by his hero Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., when he became Muhammad Ali 20 years before it) during the Vietnam War. For his behaviour both in and out of the ring, ESPN has ranked Tyson as the number1 “Most Outrageous Character” in modern sports history as determined by a panel of experts and an Internet poll.
He was trained by Cus D'Amato in the early part of his career, Tyson unified the belts in the splintered heavyweight division in the late 1980s and won many of his fights by knockout. He knocked out his first 19 professional opponents no later than the sixth round, and 13 of them in the first. He was the undisputed heavyweight champion for over two years before losing to Buster Douglas in 1990.
In 1992 he was convicted of raping a beauty pageant contestant, and after being released from prison in 1995, he engaged in a series of comeback fights. In 1997, he bit off a portion of Evander Holyfield's ear. He fought for a championship again at 35, losing by knockout to Lennox Lewis in 2002. Tyson retired from competitive boxing in 2005.
Since retiring he has engaged in a series of exhibition bouts in a tour across the U.S to pay his numerous debts. He declared bankruptcy in 2003, despite receiving over US$30 million for several of his fights and $300 million over his career.
