A Tribe Called Fresh

“You don’t want Mike Tyson after you.... He scares, if Mike came in here right now you’d be scared. It would be like a pitbull walking in here but don’t nobody know who the owner is” - Jamie Foxx. 

 If you’re reading this (thanks to all 5 of you who clicked on this link.) and you’re under the age 25, you may know Mike Tyson as the soft spoken guy from the Hangover movies with a lisp (or rather lithp) and a tramp stamp tattoo on his fucking face.  Or If you’re like me and you’re in your twilight years and you remember that Chris Brown had a show stealing cameo on Generations, then you may well remember Mike as that dude who was once a dominant world heavyweight boxer with a ferocious knockout punch and exceptional ear biting abilities. 

My guy Iron Mike recently sat down with Joe Rogan on his podcast where they had a lengthy chat and reminisced about the good ol’ days when he was recognised as the most dangerous man in the world who’s life revolved around snorting copious amounts of cocaine and carelessly giving away luxury cars to strangers, to a now more peaceful life that is in sharp contrast to how he used to live. That podcast sent me down memory lane as well and made me think about some of my favourite iconic Mike moments which I’m obviously going to share with you guys cos I just got mad love for ya’ll fam! Without further adieu, here are my favourite Mike Tyson moments.

Mike had no fear in his ice cold heart. When he grew tired of beating up men to a pulp, he tried sparring with tigers. A legend, I stan.
