Biggs began his boxing journey with promise, showcasing great skill and potential. Throughout his career, he fought against some of the best in the division, making a name for himself and leaving an indelible mark on the sport.

As a heavyweight boxer, Biggs competed against opponents who possessed immense power and strength. Despite these challenges, he used his own attributes to his advantage. His height and reach allowed him to maintain distance from his opponents, making it difficult for them to land their punches. Biggs' jab was a powerful weapon, keeping his opponents at bay and setting up his own combinations.

Throughout his career, Biggs faced formidable opponents, many of whom were well-respected figures in the boxing world. One of his notable matches was against Evander Holyfield in 1987. Holyfield was known for his ferocity and power, but Biggs held his own in the ring. Although he ultimately lost the fight, Biggs showed great determination and resilience.

However, it was in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games that Biggs truly made a name for himself. Representing the United States, Biggs won the gold medal in the heavyweight division. This victory not only solidified his status as a top-level boxer but also showcased his dedication and skill to the world. It was a moment of triumph for Biggs and a testament to his abilities.

Despite his success as an amateur, Biggs faced challenges when he transitioned to the professional ranks. The heavyweight division was a highly competitive and unforgiving arena, and Biggs had to prove himself against the very best.

Biggs' professional career had its ups and downs, with victories and defeats shaping his journey. He was known for his technical boxing skills and ability to avoid heavy blows. However, Biggs struggled to establish himself as one of the dominant forces in the heavyweight division.

One of the defining moments in Biggs' professional career came in 1987 when he faced boxing legend Mike Tyson. Tyson was known for his devastating power and aggressive style, and Biggs was the underdog going into the fight.

The match took place at the Atlantic City Convention Hall on October 16, 1987. Despite Biggs' determination, Tyson showcased his dominance and power, ultimately defeating Biggs in a TKO victory. The loss was a setback for Biggs, but it also highlighted the immense challenge of facing one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time.

After his defeat against Tyson, Biggs continued to fight in the professional circuit. His career eventually reached its conclusion in 1998, with a total of 31 wins, 10 losses, and 1 draw. While he may not have achieved the same level of success as some of his contemporaries, Biggs' contributions to the sport cannot be overlooked.

Biggs' boxing journey serves as a reminder of the challenges and triumphs that boxers face in their careers. His height, reach, and technical skills made him a formidable opponent in the ring. While he may not have achieved the same level of success as some of his counterparts, his contributions to the sport will always be remembered.

Tyrell Biggs may not have become a household name like some other heavyweight champions, but his determination, skill, and Olympic gold medal make him a notable figure in boxing history. His story is a testament to the perseverance and the unpredictable nature of the sport.
