Summary
Iron Michael, the former heavyweight boxing champion, is known by the name Ian McGregor in the anime, with the English dub renaming him Olam McGregor. He holds a deep respect for powerful opponents, demonstrated when he removed his gloves to fight Chiharu Shiba. A devoted lover of his hometown, Brooklyn, he shows no disdain for challengers who employ weapons or attack in groups. Michael is passionate about boxing and idolizes the late God of Boxing, John L. Sullivan, who is called Johnny L. Donovan in the anime adaptation. His enthusiasm for the sport is evident when he happily informed Baki that he planned to return to the ring in three months. He maintains that weight is the most critical factor in exchanging blows, and the reason for his imprisonment remains unknown.
