Mike Tyson Finally Acknowledges “The Mike Tyson Of Racehorses” Who Infamously Bit His Competitor

Mike Tyson always had a knack for telling stories. His boxing career mitigated him from expressing his storytelling side, but his retirement allowed his followers to see his different side. Tyson has been a part of a number of podcasts, where he has shared anecdotes and discussed a variety of topics.

Iron Mike recalled an incident that made Bill and himself crack up on a recent episode of the podcast Club Random With Bill Maher. “Horses do fight,” Tyson said when asked about his interest in horse fighting by the host. Remember the horse? He did a Mike Tyson. The other horses were running. He just bit another horse and pulled it back.”

The video of a horse biting another horse made the YouTube viewers laugh out loud. It was well-received by the audience, who even linked it to Mike Tyson biting Evander Holyfield during one of his fights.
