Watch: Mike Tyson Rips Apart “Mean Nasty Guy” for Stealing His $100 Million

The headlines today tell a story not of Mike Tyson in the ring, but of a confrontation beyond his famed bouts. His adversary? Not a fellow boxer, but the notorious boxing promoter Don King, a name that has been entwined with Tyson’s in a saga of treachery and litigation. Back in the 90s, Tyson sued King for a staggering $100 million, accusing him of deception and fraud.

While Tyson’s legal blow did land, it brought in only a fraction of the claim – a $14 million settlement. Now, in a recent video that’s sparked intrigue, Tyson revisits this saga with King on a podcast, dissecting the story from his perspective. What drove Tyson’s wrath towards King? What details does this saga still conceal?

Tyson vs. King: A conversation riddled with tension and truth

During the discussion, Tyson, in conversation with co-host DJ Whoo Kid, provides more insight into his legal battles and King’s role in them. The conversation takes a deeper dive into the complexities of the Tyson-King relationship.

DJ Whoo Kid initiates the conversation, saying, “You went through hell with your law and stuff-“ Tyson cuts in, affirming, “I made new laws, but I had to suffer for them, but the other fighters won’t.” Taking the conversation further, DJ Whoo Kid recalls, “But Don King excuse was like, I made you 500 million why are you coming after me for ripping you off.”

Tyson responds, his voice laden with emotion, “No that’s not even it. He’s just a mean nasty guy yeah.” Acknowledging the raw bitterness, DJ Whoo Kid offers a simple, “Okay.” But Tyson continues, his words piercing, “He didn’t have no reason to do it and he wouldn’t make one up either.”

This intimate conversation paints a stark portrait of King through Tyson’s lens. Tyson, it seems, sees King as a remorseless character who wronged him without justifiable reason, leaving behind a trail of hurt and resentment.

Behind the spotlight: Tyson’s battle with corporate America

In the same podcast, Tyson candidly addressed the fraught history of music mogul Clive Davis and the punishing corporate world. Tyson noted Davis’ deep connections in high echelons, “You don’t think Clive Davis had friends in Corporate America? And the White House?… This is how it goes.”
