One heavyweight won a title with him, then defended it without him. Another called Atlas a father figure, then said his trainer had betrayed him. And the third was Mike Tyson. More than thirty years after their confrontation, Tyson approached Atlas with an apology, and Atlas later admitted he mishandled what happened next. In this video, we look at Alexander Povetkin, Shannon Briggs, and Mike Tyson, and what each relationship reveals about trust between a trainer and a fighter. We separate documented facts from disputed accounts and focus on the one regret Atlas described in his own words. Atlas has never publicly ranked these men as regrets, and the real stories are more complicated than that. Watch to the end for the least expected admission of all. Subscribe for more boxing history.
