In his fighting days, Mike Tyson was an absolute menace. A ferocious fighter like him was a spectacle to watch unless you were on the receiving end of his rage. Tyson’s words were as painful as his punches and his tirade against a white reporter during the press conference ahead of the Lenox Lewis fight would attest.

In 2002, Mike Tyson was scheduled to fight Lewis in a boxing match with the WBC, IBF, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight titles on the line. The fight was booked to take place in Memphis, Tennesse as many other states in America refused to sanction a Tyson fight at that time. The two boxers met each other for the press conference on January 22, 2002. A fired-up Tyson ended up causing a brawl on stage which led to members of both parties getting physical.

The event was in absolute shambles. During this brawl, then-WBC president Jose Sulaiman also claimed to be hurt by the fighters. Following the brawl, Tyson went to the edge of the stage as many of his personnel tried to stop him from going rogue. But their efforts weren’t good enough to stop “Iron” Mike from going on one of the most insane tirades against journalist, Mark Malinowski. Tyson did not hold back one bit and cursed out homophobic slurs at the white reporter and also threatened to r*pe him.

“I’ll f**k you in the a** white boy! Come here and tell me that and I’ll f**k you in the a**, you punk white boy,” Tyson began to scream towards the journalist. “I eat your a**hole alive you b*tch. F**k you, you ho*. Come and say that to my face and I’ll f**k you in the ass in front of everybody,” added the raging fighter. “Scared like a little white pu**y. Scared of the real man. I’ll f**k you till you love me fa**ot!”

Years later fans are still shocked Mike Tyson spewed insults of such kind towards the English boxer

Despite this press conference dating back to 2002, to date, fight fans have barely seen a fighter lose control over himself as much as Tyson back in the day. The boxer was on top of the world at a very young age and opened several doors of controversies that were known to man. Adding to his vicious fighting style in the boxing ring, Tyson’s aura in general was terrifying to be around.
