Back in the days, when Mike Tyson was reigning in the hearts of people as a Heavyweight phenomenon, he was a physical specimen. His appearance was so intriguing that it used to inculcate psychological fear in the minds of his opponents. The aura he built was mostly carried by his savage persona which was slightly inclined toward fear factor. A rare picture of him from those days recently circulated on the Internet is evidence of it.
Mostly MMA shared a picture on Facebook and wrote, “These Mike Tyson meet and greets are wild.” The picture shows Tyson sitting around a table in white clothes and greeting a child fan with a very unique gesture. He is seen hilariously biting the child’s T-shirt and the latter is seen crying out of fear.

A fan named Alexandru Diaconu wrote, “He said at some point he’s going to eat children…:)).” Notably, in a post-fight interview in 2000, ‘The Baddest Man on Planet’ said this in a warning speech to his rival Lennox Lewis which became one of the most epic call outs in history.
He said, “I’m the best ever. I’m the most brutal and vicious, and most ruthless champion there’s ever been. There’s no one who can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No, I’m Alexander, he’s no Alexander. I’m the best ever. There’s never been anybody as ruthless. I’m Sonny Liston, I’m Jack Dempsey. There’s no one like me. I’m from their cloth. There’s no one that can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I’m just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah.”
