MOSCOW, August 31. /TASS/. Legendary American boxer and former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) is planning to visit Crimea in late November, promoter Vladimir Khryunov said on Monday.

The 48-year-old US fighter, who wrapped up his professional career in 2005, holds the record of being the youngest boxer to win WBC, WBA and IBF belts when he was at the age of 20. He won his first 19 professional career bouts with a knockout.
