Many people might be unaware of the fact that Michael Jordan and Mike Tyson have had quite an memorable encounter in the past. The two famous personalities were once almost involved in an altercation back in 1988. The incident occurred during the birthday party of former NFL player Richard Dent. According to Tyson’s ex-manager, Rory Holloway, the boxing legend tried to get in a physical dispute with Jordan.
The reason was that the former Chicago Bulls star had previously dated Tyson’s then-wife, Robin Givens. Holloway detailed the incident in his book, ‘Taming the Beast: The Untold Story of Team Tyson’.
