‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ was one of the most feared fighters in the nineties. Even the rage in his eyes was enough to send shivers down the opponent’s spine. But this destructible attitude did not come naturally. Tyson has been through a lot in his childhood, which aided him in becoming the ruthless boxer that he is. 

‘Iron Mike’ once shared an incident when he was on the verge of shooting a bully in his head. He stated, “He tried to bully me once. And he is kind of big, he makes me nervous without his gloves and the shorts on. So if he ever tried to intimidate me again. I’ma implant a bullet in his motherfu**ing skull.”
