The two squared off 28 years ago, with Iron Mike easily defeating McNeeley, ending the fight in the first round. Tyson’s punches were so powerful and fierce that McNeeley’s manager, Vinnie Vecchione, had to step into the ring to stop his fighter from taking any more damage, resulting in his disqualification. The fight lasted a mere 89 seconds, marking Tyson’s first bout since his release from prison.
The fan held up a device that looked similar to today’s smartphones, capturing Tyson up close during his comeback match against McNeeley. This sparked the ‘time traveller’ conspiracy, with some fans curious about the device the spectator was holding. Sadly for those conspiracy theorists, Inside Edition’s YouTube channel has debunked the idea that a time traveller attended the Tyson fight.
It’s an early version of a camcorder called a Dycam Logitech. So for the time being, it looks like we’ll have to leave time travel to the movies.”
