The 25 greatest boxers in history have been named and ranked as Mike Tyson has been snubbed of spot in the list.

Tyson resumed his legendary boxing career when he fought Jake Paul at Arlington's AT&T Stadium on Netflix last November.

He suffered a unanimous decision defeat in his controversial return to the sport.

But Tyson's legacy and status in boxing has already been cemented following his heroics in the early part of his professional career.

He is still the youngest world heavyweight champion, winning the WBC title, aged just 20 years and four months.

Sports and entertainment outlet Yardbarker, however, has failed to name the 58-year-old boxing legend in their top 25 boxers of all-time.

But fellow heavyweight greats Muhammad Ali and George Foreman feature, not to mention Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
