Former heavyweight champion of the world and current celebrity-for-celebrity’s-sake Mike Tyson claims he walked in on Brad Pitt having sex with his then-wife in the middle of the couple’s divorce in the late 1980s. Speaking to Yahoo! Sports’ In Depth with Graham Bensinger (transcribed here in the Herald Sun), Tyson said he found the pair when he returned home from a meeting with his divorce lawyer.

“I would go to my lawyer’s office to say she’s a pig and stealing, I would go to … her house to have sex with her. This particular day, someone beat me to the punch. And I guess Brad got there earlier than I did,” he said.

“I was mad as hell. I was going to … you should have saw his face when he saw me.”

Tyson also admitted that he was high on cocaine while filming his cameo in 2009′s The Hangover – a role that did much to revive his celebrity after his retirement from boxing and multiple legal and criminal battles.

    Mike Tyson is starring in a video tribute to Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant, as reported by SportsGrid.com.

    The tribute is a sequel to a video Tyson made earlier in June about the Miami Heat’s LeBron James. Both of the songs premiered on the Jimmy Kimmel Show while the two stars do battle in the NBA Finals, which now stands tied at one a piece heading into Sunday’s Game 3 in Miami.

    The song that Tyson performs in the video is called, “Dr. Shootgood,” a spoof of Motley Crue’s 1989 hit single, “Dr. Feelgood.”

    Lyrics from Tyson’s song about Durant include:

    “He’s got a 24-karat smile that all the girls can enjoy, and he run off the court and kiss his mama like a sissy boy.”

    The video can be seen here:

  • Mike Tyson Believes George Zimmerman Should Be Shot

    In a recent interview with Yahoo!, controversial boxing legend Mike Tyson said that he believes George Zimmerman, the man who killed Trayvon Martin in an act that he claims was self-defense, should be shot.

    “My personal feeling is that, as a young kid that was beat on by a bully, the guy [Zimmerman] stalked him and didn’t follow instructions from a superior officer. But my all-around perspective, I wasn’t there. I don’t know what happened. Even though this is the best country in the world, certain laws in this country are a disgrace to a nation of savages. It’s a majority versus a minority. That’s the way God planned it. He didn’t want to do something about it, He wanted us to do something about it. We have to continue tweeting, we have to continue marching, we have to continue fighting for Trayvon Martin. If that’s not the case, he was killed in vain, and we’re just waiting for it to happen to our children. It’s a disgrace that man hasn’t been dragged out of his house and tied to a car and taken away. Forget about him being arrested—the fact that he hasn’t been shot yet is a disgrace. That’s how I feel personally about it. [Laughs]”

    Zimmerman, a local neighborhood-watch captain, killed the 17-year-old Martin over a month, in what he claims was an act of self-defense.  Many were outraged that Zimmerman had not been charged despite the slaying occurring over a month ago, however he was taken into custody today after officially being charged with second-degree murder yesterday.

    Zimmerman had attempted to keep a low profile after he had learned that there was a bounty on his head as a result of the high profile death of Martin

  • Mike Tyson Believes Floyd Mayweather And Manny Pacquiao Will Fight

    Twenty-five years ago, Mike Tyson was on top of the boxing world; now he’s spouting opinions about the guys who have taken over that throne. Iron Mike says he believes ultimately we will see a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, according to ESPN.

    “I just believe they’re going to have a fight at some time,” Tyson said. “If they don’t fight, that’s the question mark of their era. What happened?”

    While Mayweather and Pacquiao are the two kings of the sport and everyone wants to see them mano a mano, there have been a number of obstacles. The two have quibbled over everything from drug testing to splits of the purse; some think Mayweather is ducking Pacquiao.

    Tyson hopes the two can revolve their issues and get into the ring soon.

    “They’re two fighters, they should be able to do what they want to do,” he said. “We as fans want to see them fight, but if they’re not happy, not comfortable fighting, they should be entitled to do what they want. I want to see the guys fight, and they know we want to see them fight and are going to pay as much as they ask us to see them. Until it happens, we don’t know what’s going to happen.”
