In the past, “Iron” Mike Tyson maybe one of the world’s most hated boxers and the most controversial in sports, but now that he is a full grown man, he wants to show the world that he is not the monster that people are making him out to be.
I think he is doing a very good job at it too. He really makes you feel like he’s a human being and actually feel sorry for him.
I usually hate Oprah Winfrey but this is one of the best episodes she’s done in a long time. In this emotional and sad interview, Iron Mike opens up on a lot of things, like domestic violence, rape, biting Holyfield’s ear, his daughter, etc.
In the movie, “Tyson”, Iron Mike never talked about the Holyfield incident in the film but Oprah asked him about it in this interview. Mike claims the reason he bit Holyfield was that Holyfield was winning the match, getting the most punches and Mike was upset about it.
I would reccomend you to see the movie, “Tyson” as well. Very good film. One of the best sports films I’ve seen in a long time.
