Mike Tyson, for long, has held the world in wonder because of his unparalleled speed of hands and brutal knockout power. The Baddest Man on the Planet, for a stretch of twenty years, entertained global fans with his boxing till he retired in 2005. Tyson had 58 professional bouts, and he won 50 of them, 44 by knockouts.
In 2003, American rapper 50 Cent bought Mike Tyson’s mansion in Farmington, Connecticut. However, the experience was not so beautiful as 50 Cent could barely maintain the house and struggled with his purchase. In 2019, 50 Cent appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. At one point in their conversation, Colbert asked the Grammy-winning artist about his house.

At this, Colbert asked Cent if he actually bought Tyson’s house. The rapper continued saying, “Yeah, and then you look down the hallway and you go… Whenever you look down the hallway of the house, you don’t want to go over there.”
