Former heavy weight champion Mike Tyson is returning to the Ring this weekend he is famously known as ‘iron mike ‘ he is one of the most controversial sports people ever known
He’s nicknamed the baddest man on the planet. he has been on many occasions with big renowned people however the boxer’s friend ship with Michael Jackson got off at a rocky start with Tyson admitting ‘he hated his guts ‘ a grudge that has been there for years the two were introduced to each other at a concert and everything didn’t work out well .
In a recent podcast on T.I ‘s expeditiously he said : “ I met MJ one day I think he was at a concert in Cleveland , I’m with Don King so we both come in right so Don goes in and gives MJ a peace sign and then MJ does the same back to Don . so I give MJ the sign and Michael puts his hand down in a way to insinuate he maybe didn’t see him trying to be understanding once the show was over Tyson was again introduced to Jackson and snubbed him
They are the backstage with his stuff so MJ comes over and talks to Don and he doesn’t talk to me. So he finally gets his attention and pretends to be much hyped and this is what he said: don’t I know you from somewhere? Where do I know you from? He broke my ego and said ‘no’ and I told him I’m just a fan pleasure to meet you sir and he said ‘ok’ and went to his car and drove off.
Following the end of his career and conviction of rape he admitted to being broke filling for bankruptcy in 2003 my whole life has been a waste
In recent years he has worked hard to rebuild his life and he is expected on the ring soon with Jones Jr and whatever he wins goes to charity
He said “I just want to escape I’m really embarrassed with myself and my life I want to be a missionary. I think I could do that while keeping my dignity without letting people know they chased me out of the country people put me so high I wanted to tear that image down.”
