Mike Tyson, 56, has transformed himself into a gentle, generous persona. He was not this man back in the 80s and 90s when he became famous. At that time, American folk were eager to get a glimpse of ‘Kid Dynamite’, the youngest heavyweight champ of average stature, who took over the sport of boxing.

The dude was everywhere in storylines, in posters not for his in-ring achievements but for his outside ring controversies that made the legend ‘The Baddest Man on Planet’. Recently, his old friend detailed a crazy incident in which Tyson saved him from eight bouncers.

In an episode of ‘HotBoxin’, Tyson’s old friend Fat Joe, a South Bronx native, recalled Tyson’s superhero mode.

The story goes like this. One day, Tyson’s friends Joe and Pun came across bouncers in Jersey. The bouncers asked them to take off their boots. Pun, who was a big dude, turned down this order because he always faced difficulties in dealing with boots. This instigated the argument between the bouncers and Pun. Both groups began throwing insults at each other. The heat surpassed all barriers.

The Bouncers, who were eight in numbers, were going to beat Pun and Fat Joe when suddenly a voice interrupted the drama.

“Hey yo Joe, Puns is right f**k these n*****. We turned around, and it’s Iron Mike Tyson. He got the koofi on the f**king suit on. He’s taking off his f**king Gucci loafers and s**t. We’re gonna f**k these n*****. I’m like yes”, Joe said.

Joe described Tyson as, “nobody in the f*king world make this s**t up, nobody in the f**king world is so crazy.”

When bouncers saw Tyson approaching, they left the spot immediately.
