Tyrone Spong, a boxing prodigy with an immediate impact on the sport, made his professional debut in 2015. He fought his first match at the age of 29 against Gabor Farkas, which he won by knocking Farkas out in the first round. Throughout his 4-year-long career, Spong fought a total of 14 matches, winning all of them without a single defeat.

Spong's impressive streak of wins included 13 knockout wins, which speaks volumes about his proficiency in the ring. This breathtaking feat is sometimes known as the Spong curse, and it is a testament to the technical prowess of the fighter. Despite his impressive run of victories, Spong never had the opportunity to win a title or a title defense fight.

Despite never competing in a title fight or having the opportunity to defend a title, Spong's excellence in the ring was undeniable. He defeated notable fighters such as Santander Silgado, Sergio Ramirez, Jeyson Minda, Carlos Nascimento, Juan Carlos Salas, Jose Felix, and Carlos Rodriguez. He also retired from professional boxing with an undefeated record of 14-0, which included 13 knockout wins in 14 fights.

When tracking Spong's career, one fact that cannot be overlooked is that he never lost a single fight. Spong's last professional fight was a non-title bout against Jeyson Minda on August 31, 2019, which he won via 2nd round KO. It's been almost four years since that fight, and fans are still left to wonder what great impact Spong could have had on the world of boxing if he didn't retire at such a young age.

Many fans still wonder why Spong retired when he was peaking, and the answer remains unknown. However, it is not uncommon for boxers to retire early, even with an unblemished record. This could have been a calculated move on Spong's part to avoid injuries that could potentially diminish his health and career or to prevent any career-ending injuries from occurring.

Nonetheless, Spong's career timeline is one that will be remembered by the boxing community. He's remembered as a highly skilled fighter who was on the path to an illustrious career. He had a formidable end-to-end game and one-punch knockout power that was admired by fans worldwide. Although his career was relatively short, it was an exciting ride that uncovered a lot of potential from the highly talented fighter.

In conclusion, Tyrone Spong is one of the top fighters in the history of boxing, with a record that speaks for itself. His record of 14 wins and zero losses is unparalleled, and his record speaks for itself about his fighting style, cunningness in the ring, and heart. It remains to be seen what could have happened if he had kept fighting, but his boxing legacy will live on in history's pages as one of the all-time greats.
