WAS MIKE TYSON REALLY UNSTOPPABLE IN THE 90S?
Mike Tyson was known as "The Baddest Man on the Planet," and his unpredictable nature was legendary. One infamous incident involved Tyson kicking his promoter, Don King, in the head and then knocking out King's bodyguard during a furious outburst. This all happened when Tyson discovered King was allegedly defrauding him out of millions.
In 1998, Tyson sued King for $100 million, eventually winning $14 million. However, before the legal battle, Tyson took matters into his own hands. On his Hotboxin’ Podcast, Tyson recounted the moment he lost control. While driving with King, Tyson "freaked out" and kicked him in the head. The situation escalated when King's security guard arrived, only for Tyson to knock him out cold.
Remarkably, a police officer arrived on the scene but didn't arrest Tyson, despite the fact that he had "bricks of cocaine" in the car. Instead, the officer drove Tyson to his hotel without asking any questions. Looking back on the incident, Tyson expressed regret, acknowledging that he acted out of love and frustration toward someone he considered family.
Years later, Tyson has become a more mellow figure, reflecting on his past with a sense of remorse. "Sometimes you've gotta treat family like strangers to make family act like family," he said in 2022, showing that even the toughest fighters can change with time.
