Mike Tyson is most definitely one of the most legendary professional boxers in the history of the sport. Triller’s latest event featured Evander Holyfield squaring off against Vitor Belfort and getting knocked out in over a minute within the first round. Due to the match’s reception, new regulations will be imposed and that includes banning exhibition matches. Due to this, Mike Tyson and Holyfield may be banned from Triller. Mike Tyson also recently revealed a racist remark by Jake Paul.
Mike Tyson recently was involved in an incident, where he punched a passenger named Melvin Townsend, who was bloodied after Tyson hit him in the head many times. This was due to Mike Tyson harassing him and agitating him for a long time.
Barstool Sports founder/president Dave Portnoy was a Mike Tyson fan growing up. While speaking on the Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson podcast, Portnoy revealed that he received a mid-flight text from Tyson’s people that admittedly had him a little nervous.
I had to take a helicopter to get here,” Portnoy said. “I got a text in the helicopter, saying, ‘Mike might not be here. He’s in a mood.’ I’m like what the f*** does that mean? That’s the last thing you wanna hear — Mike Tyson is gonna be in a mood. I’m like holy s***.
“As someone who grew up watching Mike Tyson, I’m like turn the helicopter around. He’s in a mood. And then three seconds later it’s, ‘He’s coming, but we don’t know what you’re getting.’ It’s like what the f***am I walking into here?
