“I Beat Him in the Streets Like a Fucking Dog for Humiliating Me”: Mike Tyson Showed No Mercy to the Kid Who Stole His Glasses

Mike Tyson left no stone unturned to get the nickname of ‘Baddest man on the planet’. He is the most brutal boxer to have ever lived in the history of boxing. However, his aggressiveness was not just bound to the ring. Since his childhood, ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ was picking up on the art of violence in one of the dangerous neighborhoods of Brooklyn, New York, where he lived.

In his own autobiography ‘Undisputed truth’, he mentioned an incident in which he demonstrated his violent streak towards a guy who bullied him in his childhood days.

Mike Tyson bullies the bully

In his book, Tyson said that no one could escape from him who bullied him in his childhood.

He wrote, ” I began to exact some revenge for the beatings I had taken from bullies. I’d be walking with some friends and I might see one of the guys who beat me up and bullied me years earlier. He might have gone into a store shopping and I would drag his a*s out of the store”.

On that note, he recounted an incident of a boy who bullied him by taking off his glasses, and later Tyson showed no mercy towards him.

He said, “That guy who took my glasses and threw them away? I beat him in the streets like a f***ing dog for humiliating me.”

However, it was not the only time Tyson showed his inner animal instinct. He did the same with Evander Holyfield or Mitch Green.

What happened with Evander Holyfield or Mitch Green?

It was one of the most anticipated matches of the year, 1997. On June 28, both Tyson and Holyfield appeared in the ring for the second time. The match was proving to be quite frustrating for Tyson as Holyfield was repeatedly headbutting him. However, after complaining to the referee and warning Holyfield to stop, the latter did not comply. Tyson injured his eye in the process. Frustrated, Tyson bit Holyfield’s ear which resulted in 18 months’ suspension from boxing.

Another famous event involved Mitch Green. Mitch Green was a professional boxer and was associated with the criminal world. Tyson fought with Mitch Green inside the ring in 1986 before the fabled brawl took place in the streets. He beat Green but the feud was not over as the latter felt insulted after being beaten.

Green was looking for an opportunity to exact revenge and 2 years later in 1988 he got it, when Tyson went to a clothing store to buy a new white leather jacket. He approached Tyson for a street fight but it ended brutally for him as the ‘Baddest Man On The Planet’ landed a powerful uppercut. Green had a permanent eye injury which he carried for the rest of his life.
