That is why he fought the peekaboo style. He could at least see his own hands and know what they were up to.

Tyson didn't just have this issue,he claimed to have had a lung problem from his youth as well.

[Juof]

He said in his book he was short sighted

[The Old LefHook]

It goes to show how tough this man was. Half blind, he also fought with a broken back and bad lungs. His spine snapped in half, and he fought on! He could have rightfully called Harry Greb Hawkeye. His full nickname was iron lung Mike Tyson.

He did have sight issue as per his book and also read elsewhere that about Twenty years ago, James ***8220;Buster***8221; Douglas defeated ***8220;Iron***8221; Mike Tyson Tyson***8217;s and his eye did suffer a serious injury during that time too..

I don’t know about Mike, but I know some fighters wearing glasses stop using them some days before a bout to gradually become accustomed to the change in vision.
