The heavyweight boxer was interviewed by a group of reporters in his boxing gym. The video shows Tyson speaking to someone when another reporter cuts him off. A seemingly angry Tyson asks, “Are you talking out of turn?,” To which the reporter says, “No, I think we are all talking together.” This reply was the last straw for the heavyweight champion. He then followed up with, “I normally don’t do interviews with women unless I fornicate with them. So you shouldn’t talk anymore. Unless you wanna,” says Tyson, abrupting himself.
