Al “Chico” Evans holds a unique place in boxing history, recognized as the forgotten heavyweight who inflicted a significant yet often overlooked defeat upon Mike Tyson during his formative years. Evans notably stopped the future world champion when Tyson was just a 16-year-old amateur. This pivotal moment occurred before Tyson transformed into the dominant, fearsome professional force who would later devastate the heavyweight division. At the time of their encounter, Tyson was still a burgeoning talent, far from the formidable legend he would become.
