Mike Tyson rants about an annoying fan

The former heavyweight champion described a hypothetical situation where it would be okay for him to approach the show’s guest BabyFace because he is a friend.

“It gets crazy, but it’s just something you know. That’s not gonna stop me like if I see him outside eating somewhere and he’s cool enough. I want to eat next to him, he’s my friend. I’m not going to want to go in the back by myself and eat. He don’t want to go in the back with me. I’m not going to the back and eat. Doesn’t that make sense? I’m gonna eat with my friend,” said Tyson.

However, he added that he doesn’t like to be bothered by people who sometimes try to invade his privacy. ” I don’t care, don’t f**k with me, I take a picture or two. I ain’t gonna be in the back of the f****g room. Its summertime, I gotta go in this cold-a*s corner that’s what they try to do to me sometimes,” he added.

Moreover, Tyson has been a part of the spotlight for the majority of his life. This pressure can sometimes be too hard for even the ‘Baddest Man On The Planet’ to handle.
