An incredible $4.2M was realized during an auction held by Gooding and Company for the sale of a Ferrari F50 that was originally owned by the legendary boxer Mike Tyson. This specific F50 is one of only 55 that are still in existence in the United States and was the 73rd unit produced out of a total of 349 during the short production run.

It is able to reach a high speed of 202 miles per hour thanks to its potent 4.7-liter engine, which generates 513 horsepower at 8,500 revolutions per minute. Additionally, it can sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds. At the time when Tyson bought the supercar, its value was believed to be $650,000, and at the same time, he bought a Ferrari 456 GT Spyder.

This one-of-a-kind automobile has now been driven by the eighth different owner since it was first produced. Evander Holyfield bought the F50 from Mike Tyson after Tyson successfully defended his heavyweight belt against Frank Bruno and Bruce Seldon by knocking them both out.

In spite of the fact that he was one of the most well-known boxers in the world, Mike Tyson was also a passionate collector of automobiles. He had a number of luxurious automobiles, such as several Lamborghinis, Bentleys, and Ferraris.

Tyson once related the story of his “favorite arrest,” which entailed him slamming one of his Ferraris through the window of a convenience store because he was unable to control the speed of the vehicle.

Tyson had one of the most successful boxing careers in history, and he still maintains the record for being the youngest fighter to ever become the undisputed heavyweight champion.

After suffering a defeat at the hands of Kevin McBride in 2005, Tyson retired from the sport. However, he has since made a comeback to the ring for exhibition fights, including one scheduled with Roy Jones Jr. in the year 2020. Due to a back issue, he has been observed recently using a wheelchair and wheeling it around at airports.
