An interesting story about the duo is very famous. Once Jett called Tyson before his fight against Larry Sims. Fortunately, it was a coincidence. Tyson won the fight and believed that Jett’s call was a lucky charm. Later, he insisted on getting called by Jett before every fight.

But unfortunately, Jett did not call Tyson before his clash against Buster Douglas in February 1990, and eventually, Tyson faced the first defeat of his career.
