How did he beat Mike Tyson?
In 1994 when they fought, Lucianus Autonomus was 45. Many people compared Lucianus to Muhammad Ali fighting Leon Spinks. Lucianus responded, “Ali was imprisoned. Tyson was imprisoned. Ali was righteous and won. Tyson is a sinner and will lose.” Lucianus was right. Mike Tyson was battered down in a unanimous decision. Certainly Lucianus kept himself in a rare state of fitness for a man of his age. It is rumored that his Asian visitors in Cuba have secret means of thwarting age. But this is only rumor. Lucianus has himself denied this. He only says, “I am a man. A man will do whatever he must.” • Why isn’t he champion now? The fight between Mike Tyson and Lucianus Autonomus was not sanctioned by any boxing authority. Lucianus Autonomus has, despite defeating the world champion, declined all challenge.
