Mike Tyson on 2Pac, Boosie, Roy Jones, Holyfield, Don King, Buster Douglas (Full Interview)

Mike Tyson sat down for his first-ever VladTV interview ahead of his exhibition fight with Roy Jones earlier this year, and Mike started from the beginning of his story growing up in Brooklyn. From there, he shared highlights of his storied career, including his friendship with 2Pac and feeling guilty for pressuring 2Pac to come to Las Vegas. Mike also opened up to Zab Judah about Don King, and they both thanked the infamous promoter for never pressing charges on them. Moving along, Tyson spoke about his fights against Evander Holyfield, and Mike admitted that he regrets biting Holyfield. To hear more, including Mike stating that he feels like he won his fight against Buster Douglas, hit the full interview above.

[@TheHailstorm77]

Nah come on bruh 😎 He is from Brownsville. Mike was a former drug dealer and went to both juvenile and prison. He was a former thug. He’s as a real thug as you can get man. So he was not always honest. He’s become humble after his daughter died but all that young greed and power and corruption from both Don King and Robbin Gibbons got to his head. He went through a lot and finally matured. A lot of young heads always desire ambition and money would corrupt peoples mind with so much glory that comes with deadly consequences.
