Bruce Lee was the founder of Jeet Kune Do, a hybrid martial arts philosophy drawing from different combat disciplines that is often credited with paving the way for modern mixed martial arts. Lee is considered by commentators, critics, media, and other martial artists to be the most influential martial artist of all time and a pop culture icon of the 20th century, who bridged the gap between East and West. He is often credited with helping to change the way Asians were presented in American films.

Lee moved to the United States at the age of 18 to receive his higher education at the University of Washington in Seattle, and it was during this time that he began teaching martial arts. His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional Hong Kong martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim, sparking a surge of interest in Chinese martial arts in the West in the 1970s. The direction and tone of his films dramatically changed and influenced martial arts and martial arts films in Hollywood, Hong Kong, and the rest of the world.

He trained in the art of Wing Chun and later combined his other influences from various sources into the spirit of his personal martial arts philosophy, which he dubbed Jeet Kune Do (The Way of the Intercepting Fist). Lee had residences in Hong Kong and Seattle. He died on July 20, 1973 at the age of 32.

Mike Tyson reigned as the undisputed world heavyweight champion and holds the record as the youngest boxer to win a heavyweight title, at 20 years, four months, and 22 days old. Tyson won his first 19 professional fights by knockout, 12 of them in the first round. He won the WBC title in 1986 after stopping Trevor Berbick in the second round, and added the WBA and IBF titles after defeating James Smith and Tony Tucker in 1987. This made Tyson the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, and the only heavyweight to successively unify them.

Tyson became the lineal champion in 1988 when he knocked out Michael Spinks in 91 seconds of the first round. He successfully defended his titles nine times, which included victories over Larry Holmes and Frank Bruno. In 1990, Tyson lost the titles to underdog Buster Douglas, who knocked him out in the tenth round. Attempting to regain the titles, Tyson defeated Donovan Ruddock twice in 1991, but pulled out of a fight with then-undisputed heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (who had defeated Douglas later in 1990) due to a rib injury.

He won the WBC and WBA titles in 1996, after stopping Frank Bruno and Bruce Seldon. With his defeat of Bruno, Tyson joined Floyd Patterson, Muhammad Ali, Tim Witherspoon, Evander Holyfield, and George Foreman as the only men in boxing history to have regained a heavyweight championship after having lost it. After being stripped of the WBC title in the same year, Tyson lost the WBA title to Evander Holyfield by an eleventh round stoppage. Their 1997 rematch ended when Tyson was disqualified for biting Holyfield’s ears.

In 2002, Tyson fought for the world heavyweight title again at the age of 35, losing by knockout to Lennox Lewis. Tyson retired from professional boxing in 2006, after being knocked out in consecutive matches against journeymen Danny Williams and Kevin McBride.

Tyson was known for his ferocious and intimidating boxing style as well as his controversial behavior inside and outside the ring. Nicknamed “Iron” and “Kid Dynamite” in his early career, and later known as “The Baddest Man on the Planet”, Tyson is considered one of the best heavyweights of all time. Tyson holds the third longest unified championship reign in heavyweight history at eight consecutive defenses.

The transcript below is from the video “Bruce Lee vs Mike Tyson | Unbelievable fight | Wing Chun vs Boxing” by NcCrullex.

Wing Chun vs. boxing. Bruce Lee vs. Mike Tyson. If I had to wager a bet, I would put my money on Lee subduing Tyson; but the risks are high. Here is why:

NcCrullex (YouTube Channel):

Boxing is a sport. Wing Chun is a fighting style. Wing Chun is just far more punishing, direct and efficient. In boxing, you train for endurance and physicality, you dream for speed and punching power. A well-trained boxer is indeed a good martial artist, but they’re an athlete first and a fighter second.

NcCrullex (YouTube Channel):

Mike Tyson was 220 pound and hit hard- super dangerously hard. He was fast, he was physically an extremely impressive fighter. Bruce Lee was around 130-pound. Someone that size is taking even one, hard single blow from someone like Tyson could cause death.

NcCrullex (YouTube Channel):

When dealing with two highly trained warriors, the outcome is always a little unpredictable. One misstep on Lee’s part and he’s done. All that said, even if we were to pretend that Lee was the best pound-for-pound fighter to ever live, the risks in facing someone with a 90-pound advantage is huge- especially when that opponent is an extremely dangerous world-class puncher like Tyson.

NcCrullex (YouTube Channel):

If Bruce Lee were to take down Tyson, he’d have to do it quickly and ruthlessly. If the fight lasted longer than 15 seconds, it quickly becomes Tyson’s advantage. Wing Chun is designed to do exactly that and Lee was probably capable of it. Lee was fit, strong and absurdly fast, but he’d have to execute his attacks with absolute precision, or else the danger and risk factor grows more with each passing second.
