Trevor Berbick will forever be remembered as the heavyweight champion Mike Tyson destroyed to become the youngest world heavyweight champion in history.
The Jamaican represented his country at the 1976 Olympic Games before rising through the heavyweight ranks to earn a world title shot.
Five years later, he upset Pinklon Thomas to win the WBC heavyweight championship before making the first defense of his title against Tyson.
Sadly, his life ended in circumstances that nobody could have imagined on the night he lost his world title to Tyson.
