Legendary boxing trainer Tommy Brooks has died at age 71 after a battle with aggressive cancer, leaving behind a profound legacy in the sport. Brooks was renowned for coaching Evander Holyfield to two iconic victories over Mike Tyson and later training Tyson himself during a late-career unbeaten streak. He also trained champions such as Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, Pernell Whitaker, Junior Jones, and Meldrick Taylor. Brooks credited mentors Archie Moore, George Benton, and Eddie Futch for shaping his coaching philosophy. Promoter Lou DiBella and the World Boxing Council paid tribute to Brooks, praising his character and influence on generations of fighters. He is survived by his wife Donna Duva and their children, and is remembered for both his technical expertise and humility.
