‘F*** You Doing?’ – Mike Tyson Taunts Tommy Hearns for Crying After His First Fight With “Sugar” Ray Leonard

The former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson continues to make waves in the boxing world even after his retirement, and fans continue to track his every activity. Moreover, ‘Iron’ Mike keeps himself supremely active on his social handles and even puts out entertaining episodes on his own podcast channel. Recently on his Hotboxin podcast, Tyson brought in some bigwigs of boxing like ‘Sugar’ Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, and Shane Mosley.

During the podcast, Leonard unveiled an astonishing anecdote about what Tommy Hearns said to him after their first fight in 1981.

“He also walked up to me and he was crying. He said, ‘Ray, you know what you are the best'” said ‘Sugar.’

Tyson then interrupted the chat and asked Hearns, “F**kin crying for this little man? F**k you doing?”

‘Sugar’ and Hearns battled each other out twice in the retro boxing era. In their first contest, Leonard ended Hearns’ undefeated boxing stint by finishing him in round 14. The duo engaged in a sheer tussle with each other and in the podcast, ‘Sugar’ even admitted that this was one of his toughest fights.

After this loss, a heartbroken ‘Hitman’ approached Ray Leonard and adjudged him as the best.

However, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ laughed over this anecdote and questioned Hearns on why did he cry over this loss. Furthermore, the entire studio shared a laugh on the same subsequently.
