Mike Tyson is the youngest world heavyweight champion in boxing history, having claimed his first title at the tender age of 20 years, four months and 22 days old. It came all the way back in November 1986 against Trevor Berbick, who was sent stumbling across the ring after just two rounds with ‘Iron’ Mike in November 1986. Nobody has ever managed to break his astonishing record, with Briain’s Herbie Hide coming closest as a 22-year-old in 1994. And ahead of the 33rd anniversary of Tyson’s first world-title triumph, Starsport have ranked the five best knockouts of his heavyweight career. 5. Francois Botha (16 January 1999) After back-to-back defeats at the hands of Evander Holyfield, and a suspension for biting the American’s ear in his second disqualification loss, Tyson returned 19 months later against Botha and looked rusty early on. Yet his lethargic start meant little in the end, as he whipped in a devastating right hand that sent the South African crashing to the … [Read more...] about Mike Tyson’s five best KO’s ranked as anniversary nears of first world title win

Sadistic Holocaust camp guard so evil she was nicknamed the ‘Hyena of Auschwitz’
When people think of the Nazis the image they most likely conjure up is one of a male. But the Third Reich had its share of complicit women, some who would go on to commit atrocities in concentration camps. One of the most infamous was Irma Grese, a guard better known as 'Hyena of Auschwitz' or 'The Beautiful Beast'. The blonde ringleted German was only 22 when she was hanged for her war crimes after being found guilty for murdering prisoners - the youngest woman to die under British law last century. Grese's brutality was said to be notable even among her male Nazi counterparts, although it is difficult to confirm every accusation against her. Grese standing in the courtyard of the prisoner of war cage at Celle in August 1945 awaiting trial ( Image: Apic/Getty Images) Historian Wendy Lower notes that much that has been written about female Nazis over the years is obscured by sexism and stereotypes . However, witnesses claimed that Grese would beat and kick … [Read more...] about Sadistic Holocaust camp guard so evil she was nicknamed the ‘Hyena of Auschwitz’
Teen brutally ripped apart and beheaded by monster croc while fishing with pals
A teen's head and arms were brutally severed from his body when he was attacked by a crocodile during a fishing trip with classmates. Farjan Idham, 15, had taken a moment to rest on a log during the trip at Lake Tolire in Ternate City, Indonesia, where the violent attack took place last Tuesday (August 2). The vicious reptile then launched its body out of the water and dragged him under.

Authorities launched a search and rescue operation. Despite the boy's body being obviously visible floating around the lake, it took three days to retrieve due to the presence of crocodiles around the corpse and the steep cliffs around the lake. One crocodile kept pushing Farjan's body around the lake. Ternate Search … [Read more...] about Teen brutally ripped apart and beheaded by monster croc while fishing with pals
Vladimir Putin demands schoolchildren learn ‘patriotic values’ from the age of seven
Vladimir Putin wants children as young as seven to be taught Russian values as part of a wider programme of "patriotic" education.

Defence experts warn of ‘disaster’ for Britain after Donald Trump suggests undoing ‘out of control’ F-35 fighter jet project
British defence experts expressed alarm yesterday after Donald Trump suggested he might undo a multi-billion dollar stealth fighter project that is to form a core part of the United Kingdom's defensive capabilities. The president-elect took a casual shot at the F-35 programme for the world's most advanced fighter jet tweeting on Monday that the cost was "out of control". "Billions of dollars can and will be saved on military (and other) purchases after January 20th," he wrote, indicating a change in strategy after his inauguration. Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2016 But defence experts told this newspaper there would be disastrous consequences for Britain if Mr Trump were to put the plan on the scrap heap at this late stage.

Donald Trump wipes out Hillary Clinton with golf ball in viral video tweeted by US president HIMSELF
Donald Trump has retweeted a mocked up video of Hillary Clinton being hit in the back with a golf ball. The short video starts with the US president swinging a club on a green in front of spectators. In the second half of the clip, a ball hits Hillary in the back and she falls to the ground. The gif was originally tweeted by Twitter user 'Mike' from the account @Fucktupmind three days ago. It is captioned: "Donald Trump's amazing golf swing #CrookedHillary" It had been retweeted more than 1,000 times and received more than 3,000 likes by midday on Sunday. Reaction from Trump's Twitter followers was mixed. Some users appeared to find the video funny while others considered it grossly offensive and demonstrative of the president's penchant for violence against women. One user wrote: "Hysterical. Love our president has a sense of humour." Another tweeted: "The President of the United States is a child." Last year, during his run for office, Trump was caught … [Read more...] about Donald Trump wipes out Hillary Clinton with golf ball in viral video tweeted by US president HIMSELF
Gaza apartment destroyed in Israeli attack as survivor says: ‘I am still asking myself why I am alive’
At 4pm last Friday, residents of the apartment building on Al-Shohada Street were eating, sleeping or relaxing on their day off. Then, the Israelis struck the complex from above. Their target was man a called Tayseer al Jabari who was visiting relatives on the sixth floor. He was a senior commander in the militant group Islamic Jihad, the second largest such organisation on the Gaza Strip. Al Jabari was killed in the attack .

The living room sofa was torn and covered in lumps of concrete and there were great holes in the ceiling, where the neighbours' flat had fallen into the Abu … [Read more...] about Gaza apartment destroyed in Israeli attack as survivor says: ‘I am still asking myself why I am alive’
