“Hey, it’s Mike Tyson here! Join me and Michael Franzese on stage right there hosted by Chazz Palminteri for remade men and…talking about stories never heard before. We will be at the Beacon Theatre [on] January 25th, New York City. You don’t want to miss that. Get your tickets today,” said Tyson. Interestingly, the show wouldn’t be Mike’s first appearance with Franzese! The former crime boss has appeared in one of Mike’s podcasts in the past. One time, he even defended Mike for lashing out at an interviewer.

Michael Franzese claims Mike is the most sincere guy

In June last year, Franzese appeared in an interview with Vlad TV, and the host brought up an old interview with ‘Iron’ Mike where things got a bit spicy when he asked Mike a question about liking the people on the street. Mike clearly didn’t want to answer that question and went off on the host. So, reflecting on the situation, Franzese expressed his thoughts.

“Listen, what’s in his head comes out of his mouth. Mike is the most sincere and honest guy you’re gonna ever meet,” said Franzese. Mike and Franzese have become quite close over the years; besides Franzese appearing in Mike’s podcast, Mike did the same for Franzese’s show. So, the former mob boss finished by saying, “Nothing phony or fake about him, and I love that in him very sincere, and he told you the way it is.”
