Mike Tyson goes off on the height of Jordan Belfort, the real man behind the critically acclaimed Scorsese’s ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’. In an episode of Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson with guest Bill Bellamy, Tyson started talking about his pet tigers, and how brutal those animals can be, and then his team pulled up a brutal video of such an incident. And all three men, Mike Tyson, Bill Bellamy, and DJ Whoo Kid, had their eyes glued to the video, in fascination.

When the video ended, Bellamy leaned backward on the couch and told everybody to focus on the podcast again. Mike Tyson hilariously shouted, “Wall Street Journal”, which completely changed the subject of the ongoing conversation.

Tyson certainly loves films and also loves talking about them. His love for cinema becomes quite evident with his cameos and small appearances in a bunch of movies, like Rocky Balboa (2006), Ip Man 3, and The Hangover Trilogy. And in his recent podcast episode, Mike Tyson expressed how much he enjoyed watching ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’.

Mike Tyson Talks About the Time He Met Jordan Belfort

Mike Tyson is a retired American boxer. He is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. He began his professional career in 1985, at the age of 20. In 1986, he became the youngest heavyweight champion in history, and he successfully defended his title several times before losing it to Buster Douglas in 1990. However, Tyson claimed that he’d have won over Douglas if he hadn’t ‘hit all the maids’ from his hotel.

While, on a completely different spectrum, Jordan Belfort is an American author, motivational speaker, and former stockbroker. Belfort made a fortune through his firm, Stratton Oakmont, which engaged in securities fraud and manipulation. He was sentenced to four years in prison and ordered to pay restitution to his victims. He served 22 months in prison.
