“Get him for me.” 🥶 In 1980, a 14 year old Mike Tyson watched Larry Holmes defeat his idol Muhammad Ali in what became one of the most emotional moments of Tyson’s early life. Tyson has said that seeing Ali lose in that stage of his career stayed with him and motivated him deeply in the years that followed, as he felt a strong connection to Ali’s legacy and decline. Tyson later claimed that he promised Ali he would one day avenge that loss in the ring. Years later, before Tyson’s 1988 fight against Larry Holmes, Ali stepped into Tyson’s dressing room and reportedly whispered “get him for me.” Tyson has said that moment added extra emotion and meaning to the fight beyond boxing itself. Tyson went on to defeat Holmes by technical knockout in the fourth round, a performance that symbolically closed a chapter between generations of heavyweight boxing. #miketyson #muhammadali #boxing #motivation #invictusvoices
