It was Mike Tyson's third fight in just over a month when he faced fellow undefeated boxer, Lorenzo Canady. More info below...

Mike Tyson had a very active and busy schedule since he turned pro in March 1985. He was 6-0 with all his wins coming by way of KO, 3 in the first round. His last fight was a 3rd round stoppage of Larry Sims, although no actual footage of the fight exists.

Lorenzo Canady was still a young, up and coming boxer who took a step up in competition too soon when he faced off against Mike Tyson. Canady had a 3-0 record and in his last fight just 3 weeks earlier he had won a 6 round unanimous decision. Canady was not a natural heavyweight at this stage of his career and had been weighing in around the 195lb mark, but for the Tyson fight he would be weighing in at over 200lbs for the first time in his career.

With the first left hook Tyson lands he sends Canady backwards tangling him up into the ropes for a standing 8 count. Tyson swarmed over his opponent landing glancing blows before finally trapping Canady in the corner and forcing referee Joe Cortez to stop the fight in the 1st round.

Canady continued boxing for the next 6 years but found no success. In 1986 he was knocked out by Canadian Heavyweight Champion Willie de Wit, in 1989 he retired on his stool against a young Riddick Bowe and later that same year he lost a 6 round decision to Tommy Morrison. Canady retired in 1991 with a 7-10-1 record.

Tyson was now 7-0 and was already one of the fastest rising heavyweight contenders boxing had seen in a long time...
