Mike Tyson is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Along with his fame and fortune, came many questionable purchases. Fans knew Tyson for his extravagant lifestyle and for his habit of splurging money. Along with bizarre purchases like a pet tiger, Tyson made the decision to buy gold teeth.

Does Mike Tyson Have Gold teeth?

Mike Tyson got his gold teeth to mimic his idol, Jack Johnson. Johnson once reportedly bought himself a pet leopard and took it for walks as he sipped champagne. After knowing this, it seems like many of Tyson’s purchases and habits developed from his admiration for Jack Johnson.

Tyson’s infamous golden teeth were on when he infamously bit Evander Holyfield’s ear in the third round of their second fight. This is what made his golden teeth so distinct.

What happened to Mike Tyson’s Gold teeth? 

Mike Tyson’s infamous gold teeth got knocked out, not in the ring by another boxer, but by his pet Tiger Kenya. Tyson leaned in for a kiss from his tiger when his tiger head-butted him, causing the gold-capped tooth to fall off. Tyson then got the other gold tooth replaced as well, with tooth-colored restorations.

Mike Tyson’s next fight

Mike Tyson made a thrilling comeback to the boxing ring at the age of 54. After more than 15 years away from the ring, Tyson boxed Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition match and raised funds for charity. Despite the fight ending in a draw, Tyson vowed to fight again.
